Snip...
Money is not a problem for PSG's owners because the club's owners own everything and I think it's completely management's fault in managing the club. Nasser Al Khelaifi is a very rich man and he is not looking to make money by selling players because before they have spent a lot of money buying players. So far there have been no reports from any media about players' high wages and the management will try to reduce the players' wages.
I agree with you. Nasser Al Khelaifi has a lot of money. And PSG management doesn't want to make money by selling its players. Nasser Al Khelaifi has spent a lot of money in the last few seasons just to strengthen the team. Also since Messi has just left PSG, and PSG management is yet to sign any player to replace Messi. Right now they won't make a stupid decision like selling an important player like Mbappe to make money. If PSG management can find replacements for Mbappe, Messi, and Neymar, then they will decide to sell Mbappe. Until then, Nasser Al Khelaifi will try his best to renew the contract with Mbappe.
The substantial financial resources of Nasser Al Khelaifi have been instrumental in improving PSG team over the previous few seasons. It would be foolish for the management to sell a crucial player like Mbappe merely for financial benefit given the recent departure of Messi from PSG and the lack of a direct successor. Before making any judgements about Mbappe future PSG would put finding potential replacements for important players like Mbappe Messi and Neymar as a top priority. It is evident that Nasser Al Khelaifi and the management group will work hard to negotiate a Contract extension with Mbappe in order to keep the team competitive and build on its achievements.

Since Messi has left the team, Mbappe is now the main player in PSG's squad. The team will now depend on Mbappe's performance. PSG management is well aware that now Mbappe leaves the team and their performance will drop badly. They will even lose dominance from Ligue 1. However, PSG has another star player Neymar in their squad. However, due to injuries, he could not stay with the squad for the full season. And so PSG will not risk relying solely on Neymar. Next season we will likely see both Neymar and Mbappe in PSG's attack.
Regarding the effect Messi departure had on PSG team you have a point. The team success now that Mbappe has a more prominent position will be heavily dependent on his efforts. The PSG management is well aware of the probable performance decline and loss of Ligue 1 hegemony. Neymar is another fantastic player they have but they can not rely only on him because to his injury history. In order to preserve their competitive advantage it appears likely that PSG would prioritise having both Neymar and Mbappe in their assault for the forthcoming season.
