For some time, those responsible at Paris St. Germain have been trying to extend the contract with Kylian Mbappé, which will expire in summer 2022. But he persistently refuses – and at the same time nourishes Real Madrid’s hopes of finally being able to sign him next summer. At the same time, the French are repeatedly associated with a signing from Lionel Messi.
Because the other superstar at PSG, Neymar, would love to play again with the louse. But PSG sporting director Leonardo puts the brakes on in this matter. “We have to show respect. Messi is a Barcelona player. If someone talks about our players, we are not happy about it. So we leave players from other clubs alone. Now is not the time to think about the transfer window.”
But probably to extend the contract with Mbappé. Opposite the French pay TV broadcaster Canal+ (via SportBild) Leonardo said: “We want to talk and I think he does too. Now is the time to form a clearer picture of his future. We are talking in peace. It’s going well. We have made progress compared to ten days ago done. We’ll move on. “
But it could be a futile fight. Because the interest of the 21-year-old world champion from 2018 in a move to Real Madrid is guaranteed. A few years ago, Real’s current trainer Zinédine Zidane introduced him to the installations of the Madrid training center.
The one to be released in Madrid as also brings another variant into play and speculates with a move from Messi to Paris St. Germain. (We’ll leave Manchester City’s documented interest in the Argentine aside at this point.) In this case, according to the paper, PSG would actually be almost forced to give up Mbappé.
Financing the trio Neymar, Messi and Mbappé seems illusory – even for Paris St. Germain. Keyword financial fair play. And so FC Barcelona would come into play, which – freed from the horrific annual salary for Messi – could also join the race for Mbappé.
Be it as it is: the names Neymar, Messi and Mbappé (and Erling Haaland in the background) will cause numerous rumors about the top clubs in Europe in the coming months.
