Reports say that both Lionel Messi and Neymar are likely to leave Paris-Saint-Germain at the end of the season.
Messi hasn’t signed a new contract yet, and his current one ends at the end of the season. The Brazilian, on the other hand, is still under contract until 2025.
The news comes after two disappointing losses in a row against Marseille and Monaco, which has made the French club’s team even more tense.
After Saturday’s 3-1 league loss to Monaco, Neymar was said to have had a fight with some of his teammates in the locker room. The superstar was upset with how some of his teammates acted.
There have also been problems between the forward and the team’s new vice-captain, Kylian Mbappe. In August, they had a public fight on the field about penalties, and things don’t seem to have calmed down since then.
The French forward signed a contract extension before the season started. In January, he was also named vice-captain, which seems to have happened without the knowledge of the former vice-captain, Presnel Kimpembe. This is another move that has made the team more tense.
Christophe Galtier’s team is getting ready to play German club Bayern Munich in the round of 16 of the Champions League tonight. The club hasn’t won the tournament since Qatari money bought it in 2011.
Even though they are still five points ahead at the top of the table, they haven’t been playing well recently and have only won two of their last five games. This has put more pressure on Galtier, and the new reports are likely to fuel rumours about the team’s unity.
Foot Mercato said that the club is getting ready to lose its two best forwards, Neymar and Messi, because both want to leave at the end of the season.
Messi joined the club in 2021 after a sad goodbye to Barcelona. He hasn’t signed a new contract extension yet, and the 35-year-old has been heavily linked with a move to Inter Miami at the end of this season.
And since Mbappe recently extended his contract, it seemed like he was committed to the club. As a result, Neymar is now thinking about his future at the Parc des Princes, where the club is said to be unhappy with the star’s recent attitude and play.
In 2017, the club paid a record-breaking £198 million for the 31-year-old player. Since then, he has won four Ligue 1 titles with the club.
