Nasser Al-Khelaïfi seems to be preparing for the departure of Lionel Messi as they are targeting AC Milan star Rafael Leao, a report claims.
According to El Nacional in Spain, PSG approached Messi and his father/agent Jorge Messi several times about renewing his deal but all attempts have been fruitless, and the feeling is that he will leave the French capital at the end of the season.
Messi is not happy with PSG’s project having been eliminated for the second consecutive year in the round of 16 of the Champions League, while the fans have on more than one occasion booed the World Champion, the most recent time being during the defeat against Stade Rennais when he left the field without acknowledging the supporters.
The report states that Al-Khelaïfi believes he has found the ideal candidate to replace Messi as agent Jorge Mendes has offered up Rafael Leao, who has been linked with Manchester United, Chelsea, Real Madrid, Atlético Madrid and Manchester City.
The Rossoneri have refused to sell him in previous windows but now they could be forced to given his deal expires in 2024. Leao’s performance level has dropped compared to last season when he was Serie A MVP, but he would still command a fee of around €100m according to El Nacional.
Sell.
I think also that he can be sold. And french league is so bad, compare to PSG, maybe Leao would have better impact in that league again. But in Europe ….no !
120m + xavi simons milan could use him on 10. I know the won’t sell him for 120 but milan has the space to negotiate and if they can’t negotiate i will do it for free for milan it is my proffesion
Xavi Simons is no longer a part of PSG i think
You are correct there, checked it and he joined psv in the summer of 22 on a free transfer.
Sell him at once.
Put the money on the table
Selll him without hesitation and Decsion making is the First Charectristics of Leaderahip Quality.
Otherwise we shall loose him to Zero
€120 all day long to make the sell. 20% goes to Lille as part of the deal with them and still leaves is €96M to reinvest in the squad.
That’s a good News.
Sell him!
I just want him out and get us some decent amount of money than leaving for free, getting sick of this saga and he is overrated and has a bad attitude imo.
I like Leao and believe he’ll end up as good as it gets but there is simply no way he is worth more than the 3 to 5 good players we could sign using the transfer fee.
