Kylian Mbappe has been complaining about his playing position while Lionel Messi is out of contract in the summer. But who are the PSG players most likely to leave in the January transfer window?

MNM - Mbappe, Neymar and Messi - have been firing on all cylinders this season, combining for 31 goals and 22 assists in Ligue 1 alone, but their on-field performances have masked off-field issues.

Paris tried to sell Neymar to Juventus, Chelsea, or anyone who would take him last summer before his contract was automatically renewed until 2027, and not the two Ms' futures look even more uncertain than the Brazilian's.

They wouldn't be alone in leaving the Parc des Princes in January. Football Transfers takes a closer look…

Mauri Icardi

Mbappe plays on the left for France with Olivier Giroud leading the line, but he has been asked to be the No.9 this season with Mauro Icardi, a bona fide striker, farmed out on loan to Galatasaray.

Icardi has been enjoying himself in Turkey, with four goals and three assists from his six Super Lig games, and Gala reportedly want to make his move permanent for €13 million this winter.

Sergio Ramos

Sergio Ramos arrived on a free transfer from Real Madrid in 2021, the same summer as Messi's arrival from Barcelona, and the pair put their old Clasico beef behind them to win Ligue 1 and then the Trophee des Champions earlier this year.

But if Ramos has buried the hatchet with one GOAT, he is fast friends with another in Cristiano Ronaldo. Al-Nassr are readying a bumper financial package for Ronaldo, and could sign Ramos too before his deal runs out this summer, to help the former Real Madrid teammates settle quickly.

Kylian Mbappe

Mbappe only signed his new PSG contract in May, spurning Real to become the best paid sportsman of all time. But he is fed up with leading the line in Paris while Neymar and Messi occupy the positions he wants to, and Real remain interested.

Messi refused to sign a new contract before winning the World Cup with Argentina in Qatar, meanwhile, with Inter Miami and Barcelona circling, but the chances of PSG sanctioning the departures of both in the same window appear slim to none.

One of them, however…

Keylor Navas

There are few better second-choice goalkeepers in the game than Keylor Navas, a three-time Champions League winner alongside Ramos with Real who now watches on from the bench as Gigio Donnarumma keeps goal.

West Ham and Napoli were linked with moves for the Costa Rican last summer, and he should have no shortage of suitors with PSG willing to let him go for less than the €8.5m he is rated at by Football Transfers' in-house algorithm.

Pablo Sarabia

While MNM get most of the plaudits at the Parc des Princes, Pablo Sarabia is another player who is frustrated with his lot - a final third operator who scored 21 goals on loan at Sporting Lisbon last season but who can't get a look in with Paris, making only three Ligue 1 starts this term.

Former club Sevilla, Atletico Madrid and Real Sociedad are queueing up to offer the Spain winger a path back home.
