It’s been almost a year since Lionel Messi and Neymar Jr left Paris Saint-Germain, but do these two superstars really want to leave the French capital? New information sheds light on the reasons for their departure.
Next season, with the departure of Kylian Mbappe, PSG will not have a true superstar. The last time the Parisian team did not have a prominent player was 2016-17, when they parted ways with Zlatan Ibrahimovic. After that season, Les Parisiens recruited Neymar and Mbappe.
However, Diario AS reports that the Ligue 1 champions will no longer have any superstars entering the 2024-25 campaign.
Spanish media reported that Neymar and Lionel Messi really wanted to stay at PSG last summer. However, it seems that the club has other plans, prioritizing the team over the individual player.
Accordingly, Les Parisiens decided not to renew Messi’s contract and pushed Neymar to Al-Hilal. With Mbappe officially leaving in a few weeks, this will truly mark a new era.
