The championship officially in their pocket since last weekend, Paris Saint-Germain no longer has any stakes by the end of the season. Eliminated early from the Coupe de France and the Champions League a few weeks ago, the Parisians are moving towards a revolution at all levels after this failed season. Antonio Conte is mentioned to take over the position of Mauricio Pocchetino but the workforce should also be largely overhauled.
This is particularly the case of Neymar. Unlike Mbappé, the Brazilian is shunned by a non-negligible part of the public at the Parc des Princes, but he still has three years left on his contract in Paris. A contract that he intends to respect until its end as he revealed at the microphone of ESPN after the title: “The atmosphere was surreal this weekend with part of the public leaving the stadium. I think the fans will get tired of whistling at me because I still have three years left on my contract and I intend to stay. “
An unequivocal message addressed to the supporters. However, according to information from Sky Sports, the Parisian club would still have fixed the price for a possible transfer of its Brazilian star, bought for 222 million from Barça in 2017. The Parisian leaders would be ready to negotiate with other clubs in the event of an offer from 90 millions of euros. A sum which should nevertheless cool any interested clubs in view of Neymar’s performances this season, especially in the Champions League.
But the main file remains the extension of Kylian Mbappé in the French capital. “Nothing has changed, I have nothing more to say”, the French striker commented laconically on his situation after the split against Lens last weekend. What is certain is that the Mbappé clan is still negotiating with PSG, the player’s family having had a meeting with the leaders last week in Qatar. If Mbappé has not yet made his choice, it would be established that it will be either PSG or Real Madrid, who are waiting for the Frenchman with a firm footing.
Major cleaning in Paris
Neymar and Mbappé will not be the only issues on the table of Parisian leaders in the coming weeks. First of all, there will be the goalkeepers’ file since it now seems that Donnarumma or Navas will leave the club this summer.
But that’s not all: according to information from L’Équipe, Draxler, Kurzawa, Paredes and Kehrer must all find a new club for next season. This also goes for Sergio Rico who is currently on loan at Mallorca and who will not be retained.
On the other hand, other players currently on loan could receive their chance next season, according to the French newspaper. Anthony Kalimuendo (Lens) and Thierno Baldé (Le Havre) should extend and stay in the Parisian capital. Just like Sarabia whose loan to Sporting Portugal has raised his rating in Paris.
