Kylian Mbappe will be without Lionel Messi and Sergio Ramos at PSG next season
Lionel Messi and Sergio Ramos are set to leave PSG at the end of the season. They are two of the biggest superstars on the team. Hence, the departures will leave Kylian Mbappe as the only big superstar alongside Neymar.
The Brazilian forward has also been linked with a move away from the club and several Premier League teams are linked with the attacker.
The Parisians, meanwhile, look set to have a new-look attack next season. Marco Asensio is reportedly close to joining as a free agent. Victor Osimhen has previously been linked with the Ligue 1 giants.
Lionel Messi's future, on the other hand, is up in the air. The likes of Al-Hilal and Barcelona have been linked with the Argentine. New reports suggest that Chelsea and Newcastle have also entered the race for the player (via journalist Pablo Gravellone).
Ramos, meanwhile, is a target for Saudi Pro League clubs Al-Nassr and Al-Hilal (according to Le10Sport). Fans will keep a keen eye on where the legendary central defender ends up.
The club and two of its biggest superstars look set to start a new chapter next season. Mbappe, though, will once again be the leader of PSG's next season.
