Lionel Messi

The Argentinian superstar is undoubtedly the most high-profile player at the club who could leave this summer. Messi’s contract with the club expires at the end of the season, but PSG have the option to extend it by another year. Messi has been in talks with the club, but no concrete plans have been made. Messi also allayed fears that he was leaving, by stating he and Kylian Mbappe still had to achieve big things at the club, The Mirror reported.

Sergio Ramos

The Spanish international is another player whose contract expires at the end of the season. The 36-year-old’s age is a major factor that needs to be taken into consideration. The French club are yet to decide whether or not to renew his contract as yet. Ramos has played 49 games for the Ligue 1 champions and has scored four goals for the team, Transfermarkt noted.

Leandro Paredes

The Argentinian midfielder is currently on loan at Juventus, but returns to PSG at the end of the year. Juve do have the option to buy the player though. Paredes has one year left on his contract with the French side, and has played 117 games for the team in all competitions, Transfermarkt reported.

Georginio Wijnaldum

Many people forget that the former Liverpool man is a PSG player. The Dutch midfielder only played 38 games for the side before he was sent on loan to AS Roma, Transfermarkt noted. With his contract with Roma expiring at the end of the season and his contract in France expiring next year, PSG may try to part ways with him now before they lose him on a free transfer next year.

Keylor Nevas

The Costa Rican goalkeeper is also on the outs at the French club. Nevas is currently on loan, having signed a one-year deal at Nottingham Forest in the English Premier League. As noted by Football Insider, the English side are undecided about whether to make the deal permanent. Navas has only played six games for Forest so far and has kept just one clean sheet.

Neymar commits future to PSG

Neymar has committed his future to Paris Saint-Germain.

The Brazilian attacker has been at the centre of numerous reports that suggest he will leave the French side at the end of the season.

New reports indicated that Neymar wants to see out the rest of his contract with the side and plans to eventually retire at PSG, Sports Brief noted.
