PSG knows that Messi will leave and already have his replacement for 80 million

Paris Saint Germain is in shambles after their UEFA Champions League round of 16 elimination at the Allianz Arena after losing 2-0 in the second leg, and a 3-0 aggregate result that showed just how bulky they are. It was the Bavarian triumph over Christophe Galtier's team, who never had a chance to turn the series around.

That is why the owners of Paris Saint Germain could make different changes to the squad, one of them being the departure of one of its top figures and the one who earns the most money among the big stars that are active in the French cast.

Lionel Messi is the one who could leave PSG after his contract ends in June, because he has not given results at an international level in the UEFA Champions League as expected of him or the rest of the team, since it was a squad designed to arrive minimally to the final of the international competition that is the dream of Paris Saint Germain.

And in that sense, PSG would already have Lionel Messi's replacement studied and ready to send a transfer of 80 million euros to the club that owns his pass. He has a very similar physique and similar playing characteristics, at 28 years old but clearly a quality that is not that of the Argentine star.

The footballer that PSG wants to replace Messi

Luis Campos - PSG Sports Director - wants Bernardo Silva from Manchester City as Lionel Messi's replacement, according to the French media L'Équipe. The footballer has a market value of 80 million euros and a salary of more than 10 million euros per season. Nothing comparable to the 40 million that Lionel Messi earns per year, but clearly they are players from a different category.
