Fallen king, Paris SG is now working on a plan of reconquest, the main lines of which are known: extend Kylian Mbappé, strengthen the workforce ... The club is preparing for an eventful summer.

- Mbappé priority -

Every day makes the file more burning.

While his contract expires in 2022, Mbappé continues the suspense around his extension.

PSG wants to extend its lease as it did with Neymar, who is committed until 2025, under penalty of seeing him leave this summer.

The doubts of "Kyky", courted by Real Madrid, draw a huge question mark around the club, which has depended a lot on the performance of its top scorer (42 goals in all) to shine this season.

"He will stay (at PSG) at 100%. Don't worry, let us work," assured President Nasser Al-Khelaïfi on Sunday evening after the success in Brest (2-0).

The promise of the Qatari leader also wanted to forget the disappointment of having abandoned the title, for a point, in Lille.

But, Mbappé, he had more trouble digesting the sporting failure: "People have seen, everyone has seen. When people see, it's easier to draw conclusions", launched the attacker, mysterious, at the micro Canal +.

Earlier in the evening, when receiving his UNFP trophy for best player of the season, the Bondynois had laid down his conditions, in a clearer way: "what I want is to win, to feel that I can win , in a project that is solid around me. The sports project is essential. "

- A workforce to be strengthened -

Thus, the future of N.7 would depend on the quality of the Parisian workforce, and therefore of the recruits that PSG intends to sign, after the opening of the transfer window on June 9.

Side, reinforcement in the middle, even in attack: the site concerns all lines.

"We are going to improve the team. We need to develop it, continued Al-Khelaïfi. Our project is ambitious, and it is not just starting for next season."

At the front, sporting director Leonardo must combine the need to build a coherent workforce, with that of attracting prestigious names, the hallmark of the Qatari owner of PSG.

Lionel Messi, Sergio Ramos, and even Robert Lewandowski ... The season was not over as the press echoed the club's interest in these superstars.

In the meantime, Angel di Maria, Julian Draxler, Juan Bernat and Keylor Navas, in addition to Neymar, have extended their lease.

On the departures side, the situation is not clear for Alessandro Florenzi and Moise Kean, two loaned players.

The striker Mauro Icardi, bought nearly 50 million euros last May, would also be in the hot seat, according to several press titles.

- A busy summer -

Like Neymar, who flew to Brazil from Brest, Parisians are on vacation today.

They will be short for the many internationals, with the Euro (June 11-July 11) and the Copa América (June 11-July 10) on the program this summer.

Coach Mauricio Pochettino has set the return of the troops to the Camp des Loges training center on July 5, according to RMC.

It will be a question of preparing for the Champions Trophy, against Lille in Tel Aviv, on August 1, and for the new long season which is announced.

In the Champions League, the club's goal, Paris will start with a handicap, the place in the first hat in the draw being reserved for the national champion, Lille.

The 2020 finalist is expected in the 2nd hat.

The reconquest is already experiencing obstacles.
