BaLionel Messi plans to return to Barcelona It is suggested that Messi is considering a return to his old home base as he is disappointed that his role is diminishing in the French club PSG. El Nacional newspaper reported that the Argentina captain has spoken to Barcelona coach and former team-mate Xavi Hernandez.
There have already been accusations that Kylian Mbappe’s decisions at PSG are turning out to dominate even seven-time Ballon d’Or winner Messi. The new contract given by PSG to Mbappe, who rejected Real Madrid’s offer and decided to stay with the club, is totalitarian. Mbappe can decide who to put in and out of the team. Argentine coach Mauricio Pochettino was sacked by PSG following Mbappe’s suggestion. Messi is very unhappy with this.
Mbappe’s report that Brazilian player Neymar is undisciplined and should be removed from the team makes Messi angry. As Messi insists on having Neymar in the team, Neymar becomes one of those without a place in next season’s starting XI. Messi and some players are of the position that the dressing room rules implemented by the new coach Christophe Gaultier cannot be accommodated. Messi’s message to some teammates is that it is difficult to live in PSG.
Coach Galtier takes every step with Mbappe in mind. Six players will get a place in the starting eleven next season. Those players are Mbappe, Messi, Marquinhos, Marco Verratti, Gianluigi Donnarumma and Ashraf Hakimi. Neymar and Presnel Kimbepe are among the notables left out. It is reported that they will be removed from the team.
PSG plans to bring eleven new players into the team. The aim is to prepare a team fit for the UEFA Champions League. Mauro Icardi, Wijnaldum, Herrera, Idrissia, Paredes, Draxler, Danilo Pereira, Lavin Kurzawa, Abdou Diallo, Thilo Kehrer and Eric Ebimbe are also on their way out of PSG.
