There has been repeated speculation about the whereabouts of the star striker after 2021/22. But now it seems finally clear where Lionel Messi will play next season.
According to a media report, Lionel Messi is staying at Paris Saint-Germain. As the English TV broadcaster Sky Sport News reported on Monday, the 34-year-old Argentinian wants to play at least one more season for the French soccer champions. The seven-time world footballer has a contract with PSG until June 30, 2023. Recently, there has been repeated speculation that the superstar could return to FC Barcelona. Messi moved to Paris in 2021 after 17 years with the Catalans after an extension of his contract in Barcelona failed.
The Argentine’s goal is to win the Champions League with the Parisians. According to the report, a new team is to be built around Messi. Despite ongoing contracts, it is uncertain whether Brazilian Neymar (until 2025) and Spaniard Sergio Ramos (until 2023) will remain at PSG. France striker Kylian Mbappé’s contract expires after this season. The future of sporting director Leonardo and coach Mauricio Pochettino is also open. The Argentine’s contract runs until 2023.
