With the three (Messi, Mbappé, Neymar), we feel stronger

," said Neymar before PSG-Bayern.

The Brazilian was not wrong: it was when the “MNM” was reunited that the Red and Blue put their Bavarian opponent in difficulty.

Not enough to reverse the trend and avoid a third defeat in a row, the fifth in 2023 (0-1).

It remains to be seen whether this trio of superstars represents a problem or a solution for Paris Saint-Germain.

In any case, it could be that the future of Leo Messi and Neymar Jr will register far from the Parc des Princes.

Already in recent days, the

Foot Mercato

site has suggested that the club has decided to sell the 31-year-old Brazilian during the off-season, while his 35-year-old Argentinian comrade would be inclined to leave.

Our colleagues say that, like last summer, the leaders of the club with 10 French championship titles, would have nothing against the departure of the most expensive man in the world (€222 million transfer in 2017).

In 2022, Thomas Tuchel's Chelsea were more or less in the dance.

Since then, the former Paris-SG coach has been dismissed.

But the Blues still represent a potential base.

According to the Ile-de-France daily, Nasser Al-Khelaïfi even spoke with the American owner of the London club, Todd Boehly, on Tuesday in a large Parisian hotel.

And this even if the PSG “

categorically denies any intention to sell Neymar as well as any meeting related to this subject

.

The main interested party, who greeted the CUP on Tuesday, "

has a lot of questions

".

that you have to turn to find out more.

We learn that the last meeting between the club's management and Jorge Messi, the father of the seven-time Ballon d'Or, did not seal an agreement.

In fact, the world champion "

is thinking more and more of looking elsewhere

", with Inter Miami (MLS) who would be on pole to seduce him, more than a hypothetical return to Barça or a departure for Saudi Arabia , like a certain Cristiano Ronaldo, the other two issues regularly mentioned.

Still according to the sports daily, PSG remains "

optimistic

“, knowing full well that the situation is more complex than expected.

A priori, the "Chip" would only moderately enjoy the atmosphere that currently reigns in the locker room, no more than he appreciates that we pushed his great friend Neymar towards the exit last summer and that the club turns around Mbappe.

In the meantime, it is - except surprise - with its star trio that Paris Saint-Germain will try to overthrow Bayern on March 8, on the meadow of the Allianz Arena.

A PSG that would resolutely change era if Leo Messi and Neymar were to leave this summer, freeing him in terms of finances with two huge salaries less.
