Despite the reluctance of fans and Lionel Messi himself, PSG wants to extend the Argentine star. The Parisian management is all the more motivated as Kylian Mbappé is the first to request this extension.
Stop or for Lionel Messi at PSG? The majority of observers are pessimistic about an extension of the sevenfold Golden Ball next season. Messi has never been fully confident in the capital club and the poor results of recent weeks have not helped. More than ever, La Pulga was taken in dislike by the Parisian public. The Argentinian is even the main player targeted by the whistles of the Park, being accused of a lack of investment after his dazzling World Cup in Qatar. Enough to push Messi into the arms of his former club, FC Barcelona. All lights are green for the return of the prodigal son home.
Mbappé wants to continue his duo with Messi
But, PSG have not said their last word and continue to press Messi’s entourage to continue for another year. If the Parisian supporters are surprised, this desire is shared by everyone at the club: the Emir of Qatar, Nasser Al-Khelaifi, Luis Campos and even Kylian Mbappé. This is what the Catalan daily Sport specifies. Despite their supposed rivalry, the two men get along well and the Frenchman wants to continue the collaboration with Pulga.

According to Sport, Mbappé has secured a commitment from Luis Campos that PSG will build a much better squad next summer and this would include Lionel Messi. Mbappé thinks he can perform well with the Pulga by his side and a more complete midfield just behind them. With the weak defensive work shown by these two men and especially Messi, it will take a real armada around them to fill their gaps. On the other hand, Mbappé is more silent on the case of Neymar. This suggests, like last summer, that Kylian Saint-Germain no longer wants Neymar around.
