PSG plan to break Neymar, Mbappe, Messi trio: Who could stay and who could leave?
Paris Saint-Germain find themselves in the midst of a major dilemma despite having a number of tremendous superstars in their squad. For this reason, sporting director Luis Campos is said to be planning a revolution for the coming season that could end with the dissolution of the trio of Neymar, Mbappe and Messi.
Paris Saint-Germain are in the midst of a terrible problem despite having one of the most powerful trios in football on their list at the moment, consisting of Lionel Messi, Kylian Mbappe and Neymar. After last week’s 1-0 home defeat by Bayern, the Parisians have just 90 minutes to avoid their second consecutive UEFA Champions League elimination.
In fact, the Ligue 1 champions have been in constant turmoil since the start of the season. Mbappe and Neymar’s on-pitch rumors about who would take penalties sparked initial outrage. As a result, the Frenchman is said to have urged the club to sack his Brazilian team-mate.
Another problem has arisen due to Neymar’s behavior on and off the pitch. After the 3-1 defeat in Monaco, he had a heated argument with sporting director Luis Campos and didn’t take Kylian Mbappe’s advice to stay healthy for the second leg against Bayern. At the same time, Lionel Messi’s future is uncertain as his current contract is yet to be renewed at the end of the current season.
Who of Neymar, Mbappe and Messi stays and who has to pack their bags?
Accordingly RMC SportsPSG sporting director Luis Campos has already stipulated that neither Lionel Messi nor Neymar will be in the team in the following 2023-24 season, suggesting that Kylian Mbappe will be the focal point of the group.
Mbappe turned down a dream move to Real Madrid to stay at his current club on the condition he is their main player. The report adds that Campos has taken his time to extend Lionel Messi’s contract, suggesting he would be content to let the Argentine world champion go for free, just like he did when he first joined from Barcelona came.
Meanwhile, Neymar’s 13 national championships aren’t enough to cement his status as a club hero in Paris and the club are already considering proposals that would see him leave the French capital. A number of teams including Chelsea have expressed interest in the Brazil international but his astronomical price tag would greatly deter him from signing with any of them.
