Lionel Messi And Kylian Mbappe In ‘Conflict’ As Private Plan To Offload Neymar Emerges

Kylian Mbappe and lionel Messi are in’conflict’ regarding the future of Paris Saint – Germain teammate Neymar..

Nasser Al-Khelaifi, the PSG chairman, recently questioned the Brazilian’s future at the club by saying they are no longer relying on him. Longtime PSG attacker Mbappe chose to sign a three year contract extension with the Ligue 1 champions last month, keeping him in the French capital till 2025, as Messi’s controversial summer move from Barcelona reduced Neymar’s status at the club.

In April PSG finished their Ligue 1 title winning streak, but the fans were so disappointed with their side that they did not want to celebrate the success with the players. In March, PSG supporters booed Neymar and Messi during the club’s very first Ligue 1 match after their elimination at the last 16 stage on the Champions League by Real Madrid.

The 2 South American superstars were jeered at every turn with every ball they got against Bordeaux. The boos came one day following PSG ultras known as president Al-Khelaifi to resign after their club’s latest European humbling with widespread discontent at the club.

Perhaps one of the causes for the absence of harmony would be the sky high expectation levels around the front three of Mbappe, Neymar and Messi. In spite of promising a lot, never ever clicked into top gear during their first season together at the Parc des Princes. A report now in Mundo Deportivo highlights dissatisfaction between the trio.

Among the most striking aspects of his new contracts were reports that Mbappe will hold great influence over the club’s sporting choices as part of his new contract. This could consist of letting the striker decide which players must be signed and retained together with decisions on managers and sporting directors.

The most recent report suggests that Mbappe thinks that PSG must move on from Neymar as a result of some discipline issues, but this continues to be met with resistance from Messi. The Argentine backs his close buddy Neymar with regards to his sporting impact as well as significance for the dressing room.

The Brazilian is involved in just ninety two Ligue 1 games across five seasons and with PSG hoping of covering the expenses of Mbappe’s and Messi’s respective salaries, his future might be vulnerable. Al-Khelaifi said last month when asked about his future in Paris: Is Neymar a part of the new project? We can’t talk about this in the open because some players will leave some players and the club will arrive. These are private negotiations.

Neymar’s future in the French capital might seem uncertain, but his contract was recently extended to 2027, and his substantial wage demands and contractual certainty in Paris indicate that any exit is unlikely..
