After Neymar's injury a week ago, now he receives a new low blow from PSG.
After Neymar's injury a week ago, now he receives a new low blow from PSG.

Just a few weeks ago, the newspaper 'Le Parisien' would have given some very bad news to the fans of Paris Saint Germain, because according to the media, the Parisian club would not have been able to close the renewal of Lionel Messi at the moment, and the conversations of the club's leaders with Messi's father (his representative), they would have been paralyzed by not reaching any agreement. Of course, this would open the possibility of a supposed departure of Lionel Messi from the team.

After a dismal run in January and early February, dates in which Paris Saint-Germain suffered three consecutive defeats including a knockout in the Coupe de France and a defeat against Bayern Munich in the UEFA Champions League, it seems that little by little the led by Christophe Galtier raise their heads, as they won against Lille and today against Marseille.

Lionel Messi and Kylian Mbappé were the main figures for PSG, in the comfortable 3-0 victory over Olympique de Marseille, as a visitor. The triumph calms the waters and the Parisian fans are excited about the performance, especially of its two main stars, prior to what will be the match against Bayern Munich, within the framework of the round of 16 of the Champions League. The outstanding performance of Leo and 'Donatello' would cause the board of directors to give Neymar a low blow.

The captain of the Argentine team was again key, in a new triumph for PSG in Ligue 1. The 'Flea' gave two assists and scored a new goal this season. For their part, the French national team scored a double and provided the assist for the goal of the best player in history. Both walked in the Velodrome and were able to extend the clear victory, but they lacked precision in the last meters.

In this context, the Parisian board would press to keep Lionel Messi, who has not yet defined his future, but would be convinced to release Neymar, who is injured and was not needed in the French classic. The Brazilian has a contract until 2027 and PSG intends to get rid of him at the end of this season. With the demonstration of Leo and Mbappé, those of Galtier were more balanced and the desire to break the MNM would be fulfilled.

PSG wants to reduce its wage bill and seeks the departure of the '10' from Brazil:

The 'Times Sport' portal pointed out that PSG seeks to reduce its salary mass by 30%, after an agreement with UEFA. Given the great performance of Leo Messi against Olympique de Marseille, they would try to seek continuity for him, but they would get rid of Neymar, who earns 48 million euros gross per season, according to the newspaper 'Marca'.
