The 3 pieces of information to remember from the day before

PSG: Neymar and Mbappé want “guarantees” to extend


Both free in 2022,

Neymar

and

Kylian Mbappé

- an attractive financial offer ”.

Understand, much higher than his current income.

Except that like his Brazilian sidekick, the ex-Monegasque wants "guarantees" with regard to the quality of the workforce and therefore the ambitions of the club.

"The two stars believe that the Parisian workforce is not sufficiently armed, too deficient in certain positions", add our colleagues.

It remains to be seen whether PSG will be able to give Neymar and Mbappé what they ask for as the economic crisis drastically restricts its strike force ...
