Paris Saint-Germain president Nasser Al-Khelaifi is overseeing a change in approach at the club which is likely to see Lionel Messi leave at the end of his contract this summer – with the futures of Neymar and Kylian Mbappe also likely to come under scrutiny.
Mirror Football exclusively reported that the club are no longer prioritising a new deal for Messi, who is out of contract this summer. Barcelona will attempt to sign the Argentine superstar this summer but the Catalan club’s well-documented financial issues, coupled with Messi’s desire to remain in Europe, may see negotiations with PSG resumed in the summer.
Al-Khelaifi is intent on the club refocusing their strategy to prioritise signing the best French footballers and a greater emphasis on playing youngsters who have been developed by the club, who are opening a new state-of-the-art academy this year.
