While the management of Paris Saint-Germain is in full arm wrestling with Kylian Mbappé, the nugget of French football, whose contract expires in a year, the club finds itself faced with a dilemma.

Mbappé does not want to leave this year or extend his contract, which puts PSG in a delicate situation, risking losing the player without receiving transfer compensation. But PSG’s priority might have changed.

According to information reported by the program After Foot of RMC Sport, Lionel Messi, who has just ended his contract with PSG, would have had a meeting with the president of the club, Nasser Al-Khelaifi, to discuss his departure. But this discussion would also have been an opportunity for Messi to offer some advice for the future of the club.

Messi’s advice for the PSG sports project

Asked about the possibility of building the PSG sports project around Kylian Mbappé, Lionel Messi would have answered bluntly. “Kilyan Mbappé has no equal to stand out on the pitch, to seek depth. But if you want to have a project that makes you win the Champions League, you need to have a player from whom you can build the game“, would have declared the Argentinian before adding:”You have one in your squad is Neymar. And there’s another one, that’s Harry Kane.”
