A year and a half ago, Nasser Al Khelaifi bragged about bringing one of the best players in the world without compensation, presented him to the fans at the packed Parc des Princes – but now he has to worry that someone does not take advantage of him as he did of Barcelona. Lionel Messi’s contract with Paris Saint-Germain expires in the summer and he could leave the club for nothing already in the summer.However, the president of Paris Saint-Germain will do everything to prevent that from happening. In an interview with British Sky Sports, Al Khelaifi revealed that they are already planning to negotiate a contract extension.”Definitely. He is very happy, you can see it right now when he is with the national team. If a player is not happy, his performances will not be so good even in the national team. He played fantastically for us, he scored a lot of goals and recorded a lot of assists both for the club and for the country. What we have agreed is that we will sit down after the World Cup. But both sides are very satisfied, so we will talk after the World Cup,” Al Khelaifi told Sky.Barca director on Messi return: Dreams are free – footballers aren’t, but both deserve that final hugAnother player whose contract expires at the end of the season is Marcus Rashford. The Parisians were linked with the Manchester United striker this summer, and Al Khelaifi does not deny interest either. Moreover, he openly says that he will try to bring him for nothing.”He’s another amazing player. For nothing? To get Rashford without compensation – every club would be running after him, definitely. We’re not hiding it, we’ve talked before and we’re interested. But the moment wasn’t good for either side. Maybe in the summer, why not? If he’s a free agent, we can talk to him, but we won’t do it now. We’ll let him focus on the World Cup. In January, if he’s interested, we’ll talk to him.”##NAJAVA_MECA_6871887##Unlike Messi and Rashford, Cristiano Ronaldo is already available on the market. At the end of November, he terminated his contract with Manchester United and is currently looking for a new environment. The Portuguese has also been linked with Paris Saint-Germain, but Al Khelaifi claims nothing will come of that deal.”He’s a legend, a star. A player I admire and love as a player and a professional. He’s fantastic, he’s 37 years old and he’s doing great. But every club wants to bring him. The problem is that we have that position filled, so it’s not it’s easy to use him to fill a position where you already have a player. Frankly, that would be impossible for us.”What a word to hear from Ronaldo: We are too UNITED to be broken by outside forcesFinally, a few words about Kylian Mbappe. PSG won a significant victory this summer by renewing their cooperation with the French striker and thus spoiling Real Madrid’s plans.”For me, he is a top player, a top person and a professional. That’s why the key for me is that he stayed and didn’t leave for nothing. That’s another important thing, but as I’ve always said, I’ve always trusted him, him and to his family, because we created a special bond… He is Parisian, French, and he is proud to be in France,” concluded Al Khelaifi.##NAJAVA_MECA_6870982##
