Do you remember the article we discussed a few days ago about the future of the three PSG superstars, you can click the link below to recall the following:
Paris Saint-Germain sporting director Luis Campos also has some views.
▶ I asked Messi if he wanted to stay…
Luis Campos admits in interview with RMC Sports:
“I asked Messi if he wanted to stay, and I told him that I hope that he will stay here during my tenure here [3 years]. I’m very satisfied with Leo”
Messi‘s stellar performance this season, and his contract expiring, has brought the seven-time Ballon d’Or winner back into the conversation. There is strong speculation that Barcelona will sign Messi, but PSG are also trying to keep Messi at PSG.
▶ Mbappe did not want Neymar out of PSG
When Campos was asked by the media if Neymar would leave PSG and whether the trio would disband. Campos gave a negative answer.
“No. I even heard that Kylian had demanded that we take Neymar out. No. We count on all three. Last year, Kylian was the best player in the world. Messi was adapting, Neymar was injured and Kylian held the team together. He is a huge player.”
“But Neymar is a very good player, there is no doubt about that. And above all, everything I heard before about him, I must’ve listened wrong because he always arrives on time. I see a Neymar involved in the team project, in the club project.”
▶ Kylian Mbappe wants Harry Kane to replace Lionel Messi?
As we said above, Messi’s contract with PSG is about to expire. There are reports that he may switch to Major League Soccer after leaving the Parc des Princes. At the same time, Kane is under contract with Tottenham until 2024, so he is likely to accept a move to Paris Saint-Germain.
While Campos wants Messi to stay, overall the Argentine’s future is not guaranteed. Reports suggest Mbappe has suggested signing Harry Kane to replace the Barcelona icon.
