Barcelona made the shock announcement over Lionel Messi’s exit last week after they could not renew his contract due to financial and structural obstacles.
The Argentine has since acknowledged that a move to Paris Saint-Germain is a ‘possibility’, and he looks set to join them on a free transfer in the coming days.
This could affect the future of two players in Kylian Mbappe and Paul Pogba, who have been fancied to pursue fresh challenges this summer.
Mbappe has been reluctant to renew his Paris Saint-Germain contract expiring in June 2022, and there are now doubts whether he will stay with the club.
