On Wednesday the news bomb of the week took place when TNT Sports Brasil revealed, through the prestigious journalist Marcelo Bechler, that PSG has already sent an “irrefutable” offer to Messi's surroundings for the next two seasons plus an optional one. What might seem to be a simple matter that affects Barça and the Parisian club, has become a breath of hope for Real Madrid. I explain. Mbappé remains rooted in his desire to sign for the Bernabéu club, which has led him to reject the numerous renewal offers that both Leonardo, sports director, and Al Khelaifi, president of PSG, have sent him to continue. Mbappé ends his contract in 2022 and is even willing to rush it until then without renewing in order to fulfill his desire to play in white and with Zidane on the bench.
But the ambitious position of PSG to sign Messi reveals an incontestable reality: Al Khelaifi assumes that Mbappé should come out of the same door as Messi. For the French it would be impossible to maintain the annual record of the Argentine (it would not be below the 75 million euros net that he now charges in the Barça club) and Kylian at the same time, when in addition Neymar receives 37 net and still has a year left contract. As Messi and Neymar dream of playing together again, this strategic move by PSG involves bringing the two cracks together in Paris, and in that equation the one who is 'left over' is Mbappé.
On the noble floor of the Bernabéu they are delighted with this move by PSG, which clearly opens the door this summer for the young French star. In those revolving doors, Messi would end his friend Neymar at PSG and Mabppé would advance his arrival at Madrid by a year, although logically between Florentino and Al Khelaifi they will have to agree on a reasonable transfer amount (never more than 150 million euros).
Players could also enter the operation to make it cheaper, although Florentino himself already made it clear in 'El Chiringuito' that Vinicius will not enter any combination, even if he is a player very liked by Leonardo (He has already asked Madrid about him several times).
However, Varane, who has made it clear that he will not renew his contract that ends in 2022, is the objective of Pochettino and Al Khelaifi himself, who welcomes maintaining the French quota in the squad despite the possible departure of Mbappé. In addition, Varane is World Champion with France and they have a great poster in their country. Kylian, meanwhile, rubs his hands because he has the upper hand in this game of chess. His dream of playing one day for Real Madrid is closer.
