PSG coach Luis Enrique plays down prospect of more new signings

Mbappe, the club’s all-time top scorer, departed for Real Madrid when his contract expired, and the French champions were dealt a further blow when Portugal attacker Goncalo Ramos came off hurt early in last week’s 4-1 win at Le Havre in Ligue 1.

Ramos suffered an ankle injury just quarter of an hour into the opening match of the season and is set to be out for three months after undergoing surgery.

“Unfortunately Goncalo picked up an injury. It is a blow, but we still have a very good team and I have full confidence in the players in my squad,” Luis Enrique told reporters on the eve of PSG’s first home game of the campaign, against Montpellier on Friday.

“The president (Nasser al-Khelaifi), (sporting director) Luis Campos and I are always open to improving the squad but it is very, very difficult to strengthen the team that we have.”

PSG last weekend completed the signing of the 19-year-old Rennes winger Desire Doue for a reported 50 million euros.
