Arsene Wenger has questioned whether Lionel Messi would work at Paris Saint-Germain, claiming it would threaten the balance of the Ligue 1 giants.
Messi pushed desperately to leave Barcelona in the summer after becoming disillusioned with procedures both on and off the pitch, but was forced to take a U-turn after the club blocked his transfer demanding that his astronomical release clause be honored. of £ 625 million.
He was closely linked with a move to Manchester City last summer and most recently PSG, after former Barcelona star Neymar admitted that he would love to meet Messi in Paris.
But former Arsenal boss Wenger has wondered if Thomas Tuchel’s team really needs Messi, who would demand astronomical salaries, considering they already have great superstars like Neymar and Kylian Mbappé.
Lionel Messi is one of the two best players in the world. Those who will replace Cristiano Ronaldo and Messi are already at PSG, ‘Wenger told Europe 1.
After that, it is a question of balance in the club, a technical balance and a financial balance.
Can balance be maintained at PSG by incorporating players like Messi? I’m not sure.’
After Neymar taunted fans about a possible transfer of Messi to PSG, the French club’s sporting director Leonardo tried to pour cold water on the increasingly frantic rumors.
‘You know, it is normal for Neymar to say that to an Argentine journalist. He had to talk about Messi, it’s normal, ‘he told Canal +.
‘We have to maintain respect for others. He is a Barcelona player. When someone talks about our players, we are not happy.
‘So we don’t touch other people’s players. Now is not the time to think about the transfer window.
‘We are very happy with the squad we have. We are thinking about our season and the end of the first part of the season, which was very difficult.
‘We have to stay focused on our goals like qualifying for the knockout stages of the Champions League. And we also have to think about Ligue 1 and avoid finding ourselves in a difficult situation. Let’s keep our focus. ‘
Barcelona have a big task on their hands to keep Messi at the Camp Nou beyond next summer when his contract expires.
Messi’s frustrations have continued this season and players like City and PSG are expected to be looking for him next summer.
