The club president decided to let the players go? Laughs... Neymar went to Saudi Arabia on his own for money, Messi left the club because he was uncomfortable being there and we all remember how he was treated, and Mbappe waited until his contract expired and left on his own. Remember, Mbappe didn't want to play at all when they realised he wouldn't sign a new contract. So it wasn't the club president who decided to do the bold move

Three players leaving PSG are different, dude.

PSG took utter most financial liability by signing Neymar with record breaking wages.
Why? cause his consistent injury issues make him spent a long time on the bench every season.
And even then Neymar left PSG after receiving an offer of even higher wages from the Saudi club.

You know, Messi always wanted to stay in Europe.
If Neymar was not at there, then Messi probably would not have wanted to come to PSG.
Management offered Messi high wages at the same time Neymar was here, so Messi decided to join only for Neymar.
after the contract expired, he left.

Mbappe's case was a ultimate multi year transfer saga.
Every month media spread rumor Mbappe will leave PSG, but he has extended contract several times.
You know, he is a French citizen, his French connection kept him at PSG longer than expected.
Otherwise, we would have seen Mbappe in Madrid's squad much earlier.

I wasn't writing about why the club president allowed three players to stay at the club, I was writing that it wasn't him who let the players go, it was the players who left on their own volition. If you can argue about two players - Neymar and Messi, it's pointless to argue about Mbappe because the PSG management did their best to keep him at the club.
