The crisis caused by the coronavirus has had a great impact on the highest-earning teams in European football. PSG has not gotten rid of it and the Parisian team accumulates losses amounting to € 240 million, 60% more than last year and that leaves you with no room for maneuver in the next market.
Leonardo, known for his good management in terms of transfers during the last two markets, has not been able to raise the 40 million that PSG needed in the winter market to be able to balance the accounts. In fact, the favorites to go out, Julian Draxler and Leandro Paredes, have refused to leave the whole of the French capital, leaving the sports director in a difficult situation., since Draxler ends his contract in June and it was a sale that the current Ligue 1 champion was contemplating in the past summer market.
The losses that have recently weighed down the PSG economy could be an impediment to the renewals of Neymar and Mbappé. Leonardo wants to place the French international at the salary level of the Brazilian, but right now the club does not have enough funds, both to undertake his renewal and to try to sign Messi in the summer. PSG must collect at least 60 million in June if it does not want to have problems when presenting its operating results.
Regarding Mbappé, if the French international does not renew his contract, which expires in 2022, his sale would be a priority for PSGas the European runner-up cannot afford to let his star out for free amid an economic crisis that has caused historic losses over the past two seasons. However, Leonardo remains calm and hopes to reach an agreement with the forward in the coming months. As is well known, the main candidate to take over the Frenchman's services for next season is Real Madrid, which has already prepared the financial operation for his hiring.
