After another CL failure, Paris is planning a radical change – without Messi

After the bankruptcy against Bayern in the Champions League, those responsible at Paris St. Germain apparently want to completely overhaul their own squad. This is reported by “L’Equipe”. It wouldn’t be the first time the French have made drastic changes as a result of a disappointing CL season.

Accordingly, the French club is said to have chosen eight top stars from Europe as reinforcements. Napoli striker Viktor Osimhen, Inter defender Milan Skriniar and Gladbach youngster Manu Koné are said to be on the list. Manchester City’s Bernardo Silva and Villarreal defender Pau Torres are also traded. Other options include Eindhoven midfielder Ibrahim Sangare, Lyon jewel Rayan Cherki and Benfica striker Goncalo Ramos. In addition to these eight players, according to information from the “Sun”, a transfer from United defender Harry Maguire should also be an issue.

Paris St. Germain: Messi away soon?

The bitter disappointment on the international stage could also mean the end in Paris for superstar Lionel Messi. According to the report, the Paris executive floor should now reject a longer cooperation. The decisive factors for this are the lack of commitment on the part of the world champion and the listless appearance against Bayern. Messi’s contract expires – as of now – in the summer.

As the French newspaper “Le Parisien” reports, coach Christophe Galtier and sports director Luis Campos are not currently up for debate despite the defeat. Only if the club didn’t become French champions would they lose their posts. With a view to the summer, the team will now be formed around star striker Kylian Mbappé, it says there.
