A few hours before Messi's departure, the whim of PSG to Mbappe that goes viral around the world

It is a fact: Lionel Messi will not continue at PSG. Christophe Galtier was in charge of confirming what everyone already knew unofficially and the Flea will have its last exhibition in the French team's shirt this today against Clermont, in the Parc des Princes. Although the season has not yet come to an end, Leo is already thinking about his next team and the Parisian board of directors about his replacement.

On the one hand, Messi is putting pressure to return to Barcelona. The captain of the Argentine National Team is doing everything possible to return to play at the Camp Nou and this consists of lowering his salary and giving Barça time to show La Liga that the financial viability plan is sustainable. For now everything is cold and the formal offer has not yet arrived from Joan Laporta.

Along the same lines, Paris Saint-Germain is already planning the next campaign at the hands of Luis Campos and the one chosen to cover the gap that Leo will leave is Marco Asensio. The native of Mallorca is valued at just 25 million euros by Transfermarkt, but he would arrive in France for free because he ends his contract and can sign with the pass in his possession.

What other options is PSG considering for the attack?

Replacing Lionel Messi is not an easy task. Despite excessive criticism, the Argentine is the footballer who participated in the most goals for Paris counting goals and assists. However, Luis Campos plans to rebuild the attack with another piece besides Asensio. Taking into account that Neymar could also say goodbye, the sports director aims to sign another offensive footballer who would not leave Randal Kolo Muani, Victor Osimhen, Bernardo Silva and Rafael Leao.
