Paris Saint-Germain are preparing for the departure of big-name duo Neymar and Lionel Messi, according to Foot Mercato.
The report comes after Neymar confirmed on Monday that he was involved in an argument with PSG sporting director Luis Campos after Saturday’s 3-1 loss to AS Monaco in league play.
The 31-year-old Brazil star said that the dressing room row was “a little discussion”.
“We weren’t in agreement.
“It’s part of football.”
The loss leaves the defending Ligue 1 champions just five points off second-place Marseille.
No Agreement Yet With Messi
Foot Mercato adds that PSG forward Kylian Mbappe is reportedly open to seeing Neymar leave in the summer despite being under contact until 2027.
As for Messi, the 35-year-old’s contract with PSG expires this summer and he could become a free agent.
Campos said last week that talks were ongoing over an extension but there has yet to be an agreement.
Is Mesi going to the United States?
Following Argentina‘s win over France at the 2022 World Cup, Messi was linked with a move to Major League Soccer side Inter Miami.

A decision on the futures of both Messi and Neymar could be based on how far PSG go in this season’s Champions League.
They host Bayern Munich on Tuesday in the first leg of their round-of-16 matchup, with Messi expected to play despite dealing with a hamstring injury.
Mbappe also has a hamstring issue but is expected to make the bench for the game at Parc des Princes.
