Paris Saint-Germain Are Desperate to Hang Onto Kylian Mbappe and Lionel Messi This Summer

• Paris Saint-Germain are desperate to hang onto their two superstars, Lionel Messi and Kylian Mbappe
• Messi has been linked with a return to Barcelona, while Mbappe continues to be linked with Real Madrid
• PSG's failure in the UEFA Champions League could also be a catalyst for Mbappe and Messi to leave

Paris Saint-Germain will do everything in their power to hang onto Kylian Mbappe and Lionel Messi this summer.

That's according to club president, Nasser Al-Khelaifi.

As noted by Goal, Al-Khelaifi insisted that PSG had the means and desire to make sure Mbappe and Messi were part of the team next season.

"We are lucky to have some of the best players in the world, who wanted to play for PSG despite receiving offers from other clubs," Al-Khelaifi recently said.

"We are working to keep them going. We are going to analyse what we are doing and make sure we can continue with them; we want to do things accordingly. We are not going to make mistakes."

Messi linked with Barcelona return

Al-Khelaifi's desire to hang onto both his stars is warranted, as both have been linked with a move to La Liga.

Barcelona are desperate to get Messi back once his contract expires with PSG, and Barca Blaugranes recently reported that the Argentine would be keen on a return as well.

Mbappe to Real Madrid?

While Messi has been linked with a move to La Blaugrana, Mbappe continues to be linked with a move to Los Blancos.

As noted by The Real Champs, La Liga president, Javier Tebas said he would like to see the French star in the Spanish league one day, with Madrid being the only club in the league that could realistically sign him.

PSG's failure in the Champions League has also raised the question of whether Messi and Mbappe would want a move away after another disappointing season in Europe for the French side.

Messi and Mbappe's future

PSG's early Champions League exit is destined to have consequences following another disastrous campaign in Europe, Sports Brief previously reported.

The Parisians were dumped out of the competition in the round of 16 for the second consecutive season, after suffering a 3-0 aggregate defeat to Bayern Munich.

The future of PSG's stars - Mbappe, Messi, and Neymar - are uncertain and another disappointing campaign in Europe might just lead to the breakup of the trio.
