If a lot of information has circulated in recent hours regarding the arrival of Lionel Messi on French soil, the 34-year-old striker has not yet left Barcelona. On the other hand, it is probably only a matter of hours before the Pulga, which could not extend its contract with Barça, arrives on the side of Paris in order to initial its three-year lease (including one year optional) with the Paris SG. If the arrival of the Argentinian international would delight Parisian supporters, it would also make Neymar (29), one of the stars of the Rouge et Bleu and a great friend of Messi, very happy.
In a sequence captured by Sky Germany, as part of an interview with Thilo Kherer (24) to the German media, the PSG defender called his Brazilian teammate on video to discuss with him the imminent arrival of Lionel Messi on the side of the Parc des Princes. “They (the German press) ask if you have any information on Lionel Messi?” asks Kherer first. “(Neymar laughs) My God … I hope,” replied the number 10 Parisian, before relaunching, in a more serious tone.” It’s good, no ?” “Yes, for us, if he comes, that’s fine”, for his part concluded the German defender. The prospect of an attacking trio made up of Neymar, Mbappé and Messi would probably make Ligue 1 defenses less laugh.
