With three months left on his contract, Messi’s future remains unresolved. Negotiations, meetings and more talks, but nothing concrete. PSG, eliminated from the Champions League and with the aim of tying the league as soon as possible, began to manage that and other folders for the next season. Ahead of the clash against Rennes, Christophe Galtier gave details of how Messi was in the Parisian dressing room.
Leo’s next day: “I know that Messi talks a lot in the field of sports and with Al Khelaifi. I don’t know if he is at PSG next season or not, but the negotiations started a long time ago. He is happy in the locker room, he scored 18 goal and provided 17 assists. He is an important player. Despite the criticism he received in the Champions League, it should not be pointed out. The rival is simply better.”
Possible whistles for Messi: “Why should there be? He doesn’t deserve it. What happened last season is in the past. Our fans are incredible, they are always with us. You don’t have to blame the defeat against Bayern”.
The league, important: “I’m not looking at next season. We are not champions yet and the calendar is not easy. In addition, we had many casualties due to injury. There is no need to motivate anyone because the players understand the importance of the challenge. Winning the eleventh league fascinates me because we can break the national record”.
Sergio Ramos, injured: “Yesterday he felt a small hole and we would prefer that he stop immediately. He will train tomorrow and we will decide if he is fit to play against Rennes. He played sparingly last season and this season he hasn’t stopped. Muscle fatigue is normal. Preparation errors? Nothing yet. With the World Cup, there were players who came back injured and it conditioned us”.
Mbappé, captain of France: “I don’t need to discuss that possibility. This is a topic for Deschamps. At PSG, he has been wearing the bracelet lately because it is his sixth season at the club”.
Rennes: “Recently they lost an important player in the Terriers, but I am sure they will make things difficult for us like in the first round match. They are well organised, have done things well and have potential to hurt anyone.”
