Lionel Messi & Neymar Linked With Shock Moves

Lionel Messi & Neymar Linked With Shock Moves

Paris Saint-Germain superstars Lionel Messi and Neymar are being linked with shock moves away from the French giants ahead of next season.

According to L'Equipe, neither the Argentine nor Brazilian are guaranteed to stay at the Ligue 1 leaders ahead of the 2022/23 campaign.

Furthermore, the French publication has reported that should either of the ex-Barcelona players leave France later this year, the United States' MLS is the most likely destination for both attackers.

Messi's apparent interest in the US' top division has been widely reported in recent years, while Neymar's relationship with PSG is believed to have soured to the point that the Ligue 1 club could look to cash in on him if an appropriate offer for his signature arrives.

After declaring his intent to spend at least one season in the MLS, the league's commissioner, Don Garber, warned that he did not want anybody moving to America's top flight who viewed it as a retirement home for them.

Following his arrival in Paris in 2017, Neymar's contribution, when he has played, has been more than productive in terms of goals and assists, but his injury record has left little to be desired.

The Brazilian has missed more than a century of club games due to being sidelined for lengthy periods, while Messi has so far battled to adapt to life in a new country, having scored just seven times across all competitions since August.

Both South Americans were targeted with boos by PSG supporters in a recent Ligue 1 match prior to this latest international break, during which they were able to put their club woes behind them for the past week and a half.

Although he missed Brazil's second game, a 4-0 win over Bolivia, Neymar found the back of the net in their drubbing of Chile. Messi, meanwhile, struck in Argentina's 3-0 victory over Venezuela.
