Lionel Messi to 'lead' PSG summer transfer exodus after Champions League exit amid bold Kylian Mbappe contract claim

Paris Saint-Germain could have a fight on their hands to hold onto superstar duo Lionel Messi and Kylian Mbappe.

Christopher Gaiter's side exited the Champions League at the last-16 stage following a 3-0 aggregate defeat to Bayern Munich, with speculation increasing over the French giants long-term strategy. Messi has reportedly considered the idea of ending his career in America and according to agent Jérôme Meary discussions have been ongoing with Inter Miami's hierarchy for almost two years.

The MLS is believed to be continuing its development with a new €2.3 billion broadcast deal and the 2026 World Cup being held in the country is seen as an opportunity to grow. Meary told L'Equipe: “He has clearly become Jorge Mas’ number one priority, the primary owner of Inter Miami. The first discussions date back to June 2021, before Messi signed with PSG. The talks resumed since then, with Jorge Mas spending a lot of time with Messi’s entourage during the World Cup in Qatar in December.”
