“We are working to keep Mbappe, Messi and Ramos. In addition to these three players, we have to focus on the young players and the talents that we have for the future of the club,” Nasser Al-Khelaifi told Marca (Spain).
The future of Mbappe and Messi is a matter of particular interest to PSG. Mbappe signed a flexible agreement last summer, guaranteeing a stay with PSG until the summer of 2024 with the option of a one-year extension, ie until June 2025.
Meanwhile, Messi’s contract with the Parc des Princes team will expire at the end of this season. Mbappe and Messi are both key players and create great attraction for PSG, so Mr. Nasser Al-Khelaifi wants to keep them both.
“We are fortunate to have the best players in the world who want to play for PSG despite the many offers from other clubs,” said president Nasser Al-Khelaifi.
Nasser Al-Khelaifi also said of the team’s transfer plans: “PSG will consider in the summer what needs to be done to balance the squad. I’m not worried when the transfer market opens. I am very proud of the club’s rising young players like Warren Zaire -Emery, El Chadaille Bitshiabu and others.”
The president of PSG praised the Premier League as the strongest league in the world and said that other leagues need to be improved. Nasser Al-Khelaifi analyzed: “The Premier League is great. They encourage investment, fight piracy, and divide the income very well among the teams.”
Nasser Al-Khelaifi cited Norwich, the team that finished bottom in the Premier League last season, earning nearly £100 million in television rights, almost double that of PSG (£60 million).
