The reason for the fight between Messi and Mbappe and the departure of the Argentine from PSG
PSG made it clear that the player they will rely on to build their present and future is Kylian Mbappé. Despite having had Lionel Messi for two years in his ranks, the Parisian board of directors gave top priority to Donatello’s growth both in sports and economics since his million-dollar renewal.
Without going any further, at the start of the season there were some crosses and acts of selfishness by Mbappé towards his attacking partners, Messi and Neymar, while the latter two had no problems assisting him, so much so that 11 of the 16 Goal passes that Lionel gave were for the former Monaco striker. Now, the upper echelons of PSG have taken a new measure in favor of the Frenchman that confirms the contempt for the captain of the Argentine National Team.
According to RMC Sport, Paris Saint-Germain will offer Mbappé 90 million euros next year in case he decides to use his contract extension for one more season. This would have been a low blow for Messi, as they refused to raise his floor despite proving himself to be the best player in the world at Qatar 2022.
Bernardo Silva would be Messi’s replacement at PSG
Given the imminent departure of the top winner of the Ballon d’Or (7), Luis Campos is already working on signing his replacement and in France they assure that the priority is the Manchester City footballer. Bernardo already knows what it is to play alongside Mbappé (they shared a squad in Monaco) and left the door open when he left England after eliminating Real Madrid.
