The friends Leo Messi lost in a wild summer window for PSG

Paris Saint-Germain has had a very active summer transfer window. However, the signings it has made have forced it to dispense with several players who are not taken into account by Christophe Galtier. Many of them are close friends of Leo Messi.

Argentinean Angel Di Maria has already left the club, having signed for Juventus, as has the midfielder —also Argentinean— Leandro Paredes, a player who left a very good impression at PSG. Both are close friends and compatriots of Messi.

There is also a Spaniard on the list: Ander Herrera moved to Atletico Bilbao. The Bilbao-born midfielder has extensive experience in European soccer, having played for another great team like Manchester United, and the one who would need the least adaptation to Spanish soccer. Like Paredes, he was under contract with PSG until 2024 and was one of Messi's closest friends in the team.

The case of Mauro Icardi, another Argentine, remains in doubt. Although Galtier has already separated him from the team and stated that he would not be part of his plans for the Parisian squad.

Messi saw his closest friends leave PSG

Thus Messi saw his closest friends leave the PSG squad, something that will surely affect his future with the team as one of the reasons he signed with team was the presence of several Argentines. Some rumors point to Mbappé as the culprit for all the changes at PSG, as he allegedly asked for a more "French" team.
