Messi continues to lose friends at PSG, how it affects his future in the team

The Paris Saint-Germain authorities are focused on burying the conflict that broke out last weekend between Neymar and Kylian Mbappé. However, the cold war that unleashed this "penaltygate" continues especially with information appearing in the Brazilian media that report further problems and Mbappé’s influence.

Journalist Thiago Arantes said that behind closed doors they see that Mbappé is behaving differently since he accepted a resounding contract renewal and some teammates define him intimately as "spoiled" and "unbearable".

Mbappé asked for the departures of Mauricio Pochettino and Leonardo, and he would have asked president Nasser Al-Khelaifi to "dismantle the Argentine Republic that existed in the locker room", which had Lionel Messi as its central figure.

This core was composed of the four Argentineans who were part of the squad until last season, but also mentioned Ander Herrera and Keylor Navas. Stating that Neymar "is close to the group of Argentineans". Angel Di Maria left for Juventus, Mauro Icardi was sent to train with the expendable players in another shift while he looks for a club and Leandro Paredes is negotiating against the clock his departure to Italy.

Messi’s friends leaving would affect his decision for the future

This process of dismantling the groups would be aimed at "creating a new order", as has happened in the past when Brazilians Thiago Silva and Daniel Alves were let go. Messi likes to be surrounded by his countrymen and their departures would influence his permanence in the team. As PSG has stated they want to renew Messi’s contract for one more year, but with Messi’s closest friends leaving the team and the controversy that surrounds the team, it is probable ‘Leo’ will look to play somewhere else.
