The Collectif Ultra Paris voiced their displeasure with the direction of Paris Saint-Germain on Wednesday. The ultras were at the capital club’s headquarters and their chants targeted players like Lionel Messi and Neymar Jr. 

RMC Sport reported on Thursday that the protests and targeting of their teammates had been discussed within the PSG dressing room. Furthermore, 

The players, on the whole, condemned the fan action outside the club’s headquarters and the insults outside Neymar’s home.

Additionally, the French media outlet speculates that the players might express their dissatisfaction with the protest at the home of the Brazilian. Nonetheless, the players are considering it, but a decision has yet to be made.

Messi appears to be heading toward a departure from the French capital as his contract with PSG expires in June. FC Barcelona is reportedly pulling all the stops to reunite with their former superstar.

Meanwhile, Neymar is under contract with the Ligue 1 side until 2027, but the capital club feels now is the right time to move off the 31-year-old. A move to the Premier League seems likely as those are the only clubs that could afford his wages.
