Not only Messi, the world star who never wanted to sign for PSG and is not Mbappé

A few years ago, PSG became one of the most renowned clubs in the world based on a large investment of money that allowed the arrival of several superstars to the team with the aim of not only being the largest in France, but also to win the UEFA Champions League.

Although Lionel Messi has been the most brilliant arrival of the most recent era, the truth is that the Rosario himself recently commented that he never wanted to play in Ligue 1 but he had never had the desire to leave Barcelona. Aside from this, the Parisian team had other world-class stars throughout the decade such as Neymar or Kylian Mbappé himself, the only one who continues in the institution. However, the one who marked a before and after in the history of PSG before those mentioned was Zlatan Ibrahimovic.

Recently, more than a decade after his landing in Paris and since retirement, the Swede recalled details of that event that generated a great stir in the world of football: “In Paris it was a complicated adventure. I honestly didn't want to leave Milan, there I had found happiness again. Before going on vacation I told Galliani that I wanted to meet him and asked him to promise me that he would not sell me out.”

Ibra also pointed out that "he couldn't play in fields where there were two thousand people" because "he was used to 80,000 people." "Then, little by little, I became convinced, but on my own terms. In the contract I asked for some absurd clauses and conditions, inside I said that they would never accept. After two hours everything was done," he confessed.

What did Messi say about his time in Paris?

Leo has confessed on several occasions how bad his experience at PSG left him. "The truth is that the first year was very difficult for different reasons. The second year, the first six months, I felt very good, very comfortable in the club, in the city, with my family. In the middle was the World Cup and I think it marked a little to all the teams in general, it marked the season a little, with such an important competition in the middle for the first time. I think it conditioned the season a lot. I expected to end differently, but well, it was two years, which, in general they were difficult for me, but they are behind me," he mentioned months ago in an interview with Mundo Deportivo and Sport.
