The international break after the end of the transfer window is a great time to take stock. Paris St Germain's coach Unai Emery assessed his club's situation in a long interview to RMC:"Some players who performed well here left. But PSG also acquired important players to grow. We have a lot of players in midfield, there's a lot of competition. Some players could be injured, it was important that Matudi stayed. I told him that three times, once on the phone, second time in a meeting and thirdly in a meeting with Kluivert"
While Matudi stayed at PSG, David Luiz returned to Chelsea in the last day of transfer window:"Same as Matuidi. I talked to him a lot. After the match against Monaco he told us he had a good offer from Chelsea and that he wanted to leave. I told him he was important, and that I didn't want him to leave. But if he wasn't happy and for him it was better to leave then I can respect these things"
