Paris Saint-Germain chief promises 'a lot of changes' to create 'new era' at the club

After managing to hold onto his star player when it looked likely he would depart for Real Madrid, Paris Saint-Germain President Nasser Al-Khelaifi has promised "a lot of changes" in order to "create a new era" at the club.
Even as recently as a couple of weeks ago, it looked highly improbable that Kylian Mbappe would remain in the French capital. Images and videos emerged of him dining in Madrid, as a move to Real began to look inevitable.
After a tumultuous season that saw PSG win only the Ligue 1 title -- a trophy that under fire head coach Mauricio Pochettino admitted "wasn't enough" to match the club's ambitions -- and crumble in dramatic fashion once again in the Champions League, it would have been hard to imagine a bright future for the French side had Mbappe left for free.
