Herrera's birthday party guest list: Messi, Ramos, Neymar... but no Mbappe

Posted Monday, August 16, 2021 by Marca.com

Paris Saint-Germain midfielder Ander Herrera turned 32 years of age on Saturday and new teammates Sergio Ramos and Lionel Messi helped him celebrate, but Kylian Mbappe was a notable absentee.

After presenting their new Galactico signings to fans at the Parc des Princes, then beating Strasbourg 4-2, the party didn't stop for some PSG players this weekend as they organised a get-together for Herrera.

The midfielder thanked his teammates on Instagram and posted a photo with various members of the Parisian's squad.

In the photo Herrera posted, we can see Sergio Rico, Georginio Wijnaldum, Achraf Hakimi, Danilo Pereira, Juan Bernat, Rafinha, Mauro Icardi, Marco Verratti, Messi, Sergio Ramos, Keylor Navas, Angel di Maria, Neymar and Leandro Paredes.

While some of the club's top stars were there, including new arrivals such as Messi and Ramos, some have commented on the fact that Mbappe wasn't present.

Speculation about the 22-year-old Frenchman's future continues as it remains uncertain how much longer he will be a teammate of Herrera's.

The forward's current contract expires at the end of the season and Real Madrid are known to be big admirers of his. Carlo Ancelotti would surely love to be able to field a front three of Eden Hazard, Karim Benzema and Mbappe.
