The renowned French club has long prided itself on its ability to attract the finest talent worldwide to the Parc des Princes. In 2017, they made headlines by breaking the world transfer record to secure the services of Brazilian sensation Neymar from Barcelona, alongside the acquisition of the future World Cup champion Mbappe.
By 2021, they were poised to welcome the eight-time Ballon d’Or recipient Messi to their roster, yet elusive Champions League glory remained just out of reach. However, Messi and Neymar bid farewell to PSG in the summer of 2023, moving on to Inter Miami and Al-Hilal respectively, while Mbappe is set to join Real Madrid as a free agent.
In facing the challenge of filling such significant voids in their attacking lineup, PSG may have pondered their next moves. However, Al-Khelaifi addressed this at a gathering of the European Club Association (ECA), as reported by RMC Sport: “This marks a new chapter for us; we owe a great deal to Messi, Neymar, and Mbappe for their contributions to the club. While we wish them well in their new endeavors, PSG recognizes that the team’s strength lies in collective effort. We are committed to building a formidable team under the guidance of a great coach.”
Under the leadership of former Barcelona and Spain manager Luiz Enrique, PSG secured another Ligue 1 title in the 2023-24 season. Enrique is anticipated to delve into the transfer market once more this summer, with reports suggesting Napoli winger Khvicha Kvaratskhelia could be recruited to succeed Mbappe, the club’s all-time leading goalscorer.
