Leonardo: ‘I wasn’t told that I had to leave for Ebape to renew’
Former Paris Saint-Germain sporting director Leonardo spoke to Equipe about the reports that Killian Ebape is to blame for his departure from the club.
The first to leave Paris Saint-Germain in the midst of change is Leonardo. The former Paris sporting director saw Luis Campos, who recently took on the role of sporting advisor, in his place.
Speaking to Equipe, the 52-year-old referenced his discreet exit but also the scenarios in which Killian Ebape should ask management to sack him in order to extend his contract.
“Some things said internally must remain internal. When you want to leave, there’s no right way to say it’s over.
We spoke to the club. Maybe it’s my mentality, but saying “thank you, goodbye” always felt a little pathetic to me. It wasn’t important to issue a press release. I have a very strong feeling about Paris. I leave without bitterness. To be honest, not at all. Thanks to Qatar and Paris for giving me this opportunity. “Everything could have been done better, that’s always possible.” originally mentioned and added for Ebape:
“No, I wasn’t told that leaving to renew would be a condition for me. But I don’t want to go into those things either. And the fact that I kept a player of that level, a Frenchman and a Parisians.” , is important for Paris and the league.” .
