competition." That is the view of Lyon president Jean-Michel Aulas,
who bemoaned Paris Saint-Germain's potential signing of Kylian
Mbappe.
French giants PSG are reportedly close to signing Monaco's teenage
sensation Mbappe, having already smashed the transfer record to lure
Neymar from Barcelona.
There is speculation that PSG forward Lucas Moura could move in the
opposite direction.
Outspoken Lyon boss Aulas, who has already been critical of
Neymar's €222million arrival, warned Mbappe's potential move to
Paris would severely impact the competitiveness of Ligue 1.
"When we see the game on Sunday night, is it useful that Mbappe
comes to the PSG?" Aulas told RMC as he highlighted PSG's 6-2 rout
of Toulouse, in which Neymar scored twice and set up two others.
"Is this useful for the competition and for the economic development
of football?
"If you no longer have an equilibrium in terms of investors, eventually
you risk not having this great football as seen with PSG.
"I'm afraid that we get into a bicep surge, which is not useful.
Will it
improve the performance of PSG as Mbappe comes? If you stack, with
supernatural money, the best players in a team, you do not have any
more competition."
Aulas also confirmed Lyon – who are unbeaten after three matches –
are interested in signing PSG midfielder Grzegorz Krychowiak, who is
surplus to requirements at Parc de Princes, having only joined from
Sevilla last season.
