With Neymar Jr. out for the rest of the season due to an ankle injury, Lionel Messi and Kylian Mbappé’ have formed a lethal connection on the pitch. Their chemistry has been the most effective among all the top five European leagues. With both players combining for numerous goals and assists for Paris Saint-Germain.
According to L’Equipe, Mbappé wants Messi to remain in Paris Saint-Germain. Despite his contract ready to expire in June and FC Barcelona’s interest in reuniting with the Argentine. However, it remains to check if Mbappé’s desire will have any influence on PSG’s decision. Especially given their wage bill situation and the need to bring in new players for the upcoming season.
As per the reports from French media, Mbappé reportedly feels that he has unfinished business at PSG. PSG had an early exit from the UEFA Champions League Round of 16 against Bayern Munich this season.
Can Mbappé make sure of Messi staying at PSG?
Despite Mbappé’s desire for Lionel Messi to stay at PSG, the club may have to make some tough decisions regarding their star-studded attack. With Neymar set to return from injury and Mbappé’s contract situation up in the air, PSG may not be able to afford keeping all three forwards on their already-expensive wage bill. As for Messi, he has not yet made a decision about his future beyond this season.
It seems unlikely that Messi will remain at PSG unless their sporting advisor Luis Campos can successfully sell Neymar this summer. Since the club needs to manage their wage bill and add more players to the squad for next season.
Indeed, it will be fascinating to see how things unfold between Messi, Mbappé, and PSG in the coming months. Especially with the club’s financial situation and the need to balance the wage bill. Mbappé’s desire to keep Messi in Paris and his influence on the team could play a crucial role in the decision-making process. However, ultimately, the decision will come down to various factors. These include financial constraints, the club’s long-term plans, and the wishes of the players involved.
