PSG: Herrera confident about Neymar and Mbappé's future
They are both at the end of their contract in June 2022, and both have such a market value that it would be heresy to risk seeing them go free. Kylian Mbappé (22) is the subject of many transfer rumors, with an extension at Paris Saint-Germain that does not advance and a barely hidden interest from Real Madrid. For Neymar (29), an extension until 2026 seemed imminent, and the Brazilian himself claimed it was "no longer a subject" in mid-April. But officially, still nothing, while the Catalan press speculates on a return to Barça. "Of course, I want them to stay with us, hoped their Parisian teammate, Ander Herrera, in the columns of the daily
Marca
this Tuesday.
PSG have created a structure around them to realize all their football ambitions.
I sincerely believe that they are happy, convinced by this project and that they want to stay. ”
The course of Paris in the Champions League, with the semi-final first leg against Manchester City this Wednesday (9 p.m.), could shed light on the future of the two star attackers.
