Messi at PSG with Neymar? Why is it really possible

Lionel Messi and Neymar on July 13, 2017 in Tokyo.

-

The butterfly effect of the bomblet released by Neymar follows his path.

We even come to wonder if this media release of the Brazilian has not been prepared for a long time, as it comes at an ideal timing.

The interim president of Barça before the January elections, a certain Tusquets, indeed intervened Thursday in the Catalan media to explain roughly that the club was on the verge of economic ruin, and that Lionel Messi should have been sold. last summer to sell air.

Barça in financial distress

“January salaries will not be paid but postponed,” Tusquets added, indicating that it is at this time of year that most extras or bonuses must be paid to players.

A panorama that makes it almost impossible to see Messi extend next summer according to the Catalan sports press.

The highest-paid player in the world is likely to engage freely wherever he wants as early as January, and even Laporta, the candidate who knows him best, refuses reckless promises regarding the five-time Ballon d'Or.

Whether Messi continues with Barca or not is not just a question of money.

He knows that I want him to wait until there is a new president and that the latter can make him a serious proposal.

But we need to know the real financial situation in order to make him an imaginative proposal that can compete with those he already has or will have.

"

Even Laporta doesn't believe it

A polite way of telling the Argentinian clan that Barça will not extend it, or at the cost of a salary cut that is probably unthinkable for the star.

The latter can still make the choice of the heart, of course, if Barça has a great season and gives him back the joy of living, but at 34, Messi can afford a last big contract before stepping out in the Caribbean sun. , and it is hard to see him renounce it for the love of Laporta or someone else.

According to

and

, the two pro-Catalan dailies, Neymar would even have conditioned his contract extension at PSG on the arrival of his former teammate in Paris.

The reality is undoubtedly more nuanced, but if Neymar and Messi want to regain together before the end of career of "La Pulga", everyone has understood that it will not be at Barça.

“Can Neymar come back to Barcelona?

Yes, if he comes for free, ”said Tusquets in his famous interview for people with depression if you are a Catalan supporter.

PSG and the joker Mbappé

So why PSG rather than City, in this case since we can consider that Messi will be as keen to find Guardiola and Aguero as Neymar, a fortiori in a much more competitive league than L1?

Well because with the joker Mbappé in store, the Parisian leaders have more financial leeway than the Citizens.

If the young Bondy prodigy does not want to extend, which seems to be the trend, he will have to be sold next summer, and there should be a few contenders in front, starting with Real Madrid.

A good sale by the Frenchman, probably around 150 million euros, would therefore allow Messi to pay a mogul salary for two years, and quite frankly it is a win-win transfer for Paris in the short term, considering that the tricolor world champion was not going to stay all his life at PSG and that Neymar, 28, would then rush to extend his Parisian lease.

Asked by Cyril Hanouna on the subject (yes, yes), Nasser Al-Khelaïfi obviously kicked in touch - "Messi is a Barcelona player, I can not talk about that" -, but PSG has discreetly tried it. last summer, and it would be surprising if the exit of Neymar did not make people think in high places.

"The club has already shown that it was able to achieve things that everyone thought impossible with the arrivals of Neymar and Mbappé the same year, risks a Parisian source at RMC Sport.

It would be stupid and above all a lack of professionalism not to work on the case of a player who can arrive free and who has one of his best friends at the club.

Aligning Messi and Neymar together even over two years, that would be incredible ”.

Let's go for weeks of unverifiable rumors, we're going to have a blast.
