Summary: Lawton - Chelsea 3: 2 (Sport 1)
Will Killian Ambape surprise everyone and end up staying in Paris Saint-Germain?
Although it was recently announced that he refused an unprecedented offer from Paris Saint-Germain, which is willing to pay him about 50 million euros net a year, but now it is announced that the City of Lights are also willing to offer him a signing grant of 100 million euros. Madrid and this morning (Thursday) the professional manager of Paris Saint-Germain, Leonardo, also addressed the issue and admitted that the team is not ready to give up Ambape so quickly, who is ending his contract this summer.

"It's not true we offered him 50 million euros per season," Leonardo said at first, but also added: "We have not yet submitted a sum to him, I think there are more important things than money and that this is the last thing that will affect. We just want to help him be the best player. "We hardly talk about money with Killian, because that's not the story. Killian is a great player and I think the economic issue between us will be resolved in two minutes."
Asked if he really thinks Ambape wants to stay, Leonardo replied: "More and more. It's a matter of feeling. The French player is aiming to go abroad, look at the team that won the 1998 World Cup and almost all of its squad played outside of France, but so was 2018 - Killian was the only one in the squad to play in the French league.
Players like Pogba and Griezmann have never played in 'League 1', but at the same time there was no club in France like Paris Saint-Germain.
"Something amazing has been created here and not just for Killian, who is the best player in the world today along with Messi - they are at the same level and should not be compared, one 23-year-old and one 34-year-old."

Leonardo was also asked about signing Sergio Ramos and admitted: "When we signed him in the summer he was in good physical condition, but he has played five games since. We did not expect that to happen and it is a difficult time for him and everyone. "It's not over yet. I'm not afraid to take responsibility for mistakes."
Finally, he said of coach Mauricio Pochettino's status: "He has another year on the contract and I can honestly tell you that we have never talked about the possibility of making a change on the lines. We have not talked to Zidane or anyone else. Pochettino was in the top 5 in the world. "Before he came here and the situation is the same now."
