PSG Confident of Lionel Messi Signing Extension, Kylian Mbappe May Announce Exit Plans

Paris Saint-Germain are confident that Lionel Messi will agree to sign a contract extension in the French capital, despite rumours of a summer move to MLS.

As reported by Eurosport, the World Cup winner’s current deal is set to expire in the summer and the two parties are yet to engage in formal contract negotiations.

However, Spanish media outlet Sport report that PSG remain “optimistic” that Messi is “eager to continue competing at the highest level” and that he still wants to win the Champions League again.

The French champions will offer the 35-year-old a one-year contract with the player an option of extending by another year.

…But it Could Be Time For Mbappe to Leave

Kylian Mbappe is considering his future at Paris Saint-Germain and may push for a summer exit, according to Sport.

The 23-year-old has doubts over the project in Paris and believes that he would “perform better and improve as part of a different project”.

Mbappe feels that the club have not honoured the promises from his contract renewal last summer and this is enough to make him want to leave.

The report states that the Frenchman is willing to take a salary cut to leave and hopes PSG will negotiate to let him leave for under €150 million as a goodwill gesture.

There is ongoing interest from Premier League trio Manchester United, Liverpool and Chelsea, while Real Madrid president Florentino Perez “remains very attentive”.

This would be a nightmare for PSG, but it always felt strange that Mbappe signed a contract extension last summer instead of joining Real Madrid.

The French forward must really regret his decision now and he is going to have to rely on goodwill from PSG if he is going to get a move.

There’s no real reason for them to sell up – especially if they want to keep Messi and Neymar to keep going all out to try and win the Champions League.

If Mbappe leaves, the Ligue 1 club need to invest the money wisely. Joao Felix could be a good option, but a goal-scoring striker will probably be needed too.
