PSG need to sacrifice a flair player for a more hard-working and industrial player somewhere else in the squad, in whatever shape they may choose. They seem to want him gone anyway and they cannot win the Champions League with three forwards who do no work off the ball. Cash has never been the issue for PSG, though it's how they spread the spending and the characters they bring in.Īs for Neymar, his injury issues mean he currently looks like the weak link of the three, despite his incredible talent. It has to be assumed there is at least one more season in Messi that makes him worth the figures it will take to keep him.

Having failed to win the Champions League again, Mbappe could view this season as the final straw. It will not be easy though as Messi is out of contract and Real Madrid could make a definitive move for Mbappe in the summer. They have to make sure they can keep Lionel Messi and Kylian Mbappe this summer as they simply cannot be replaced. In these sort of situations, it can be the right call to get rid of the more established stars who are perhaps holding the team back.
