PSG: big revelation on Messi’s requests

At the end of the contract with Paris Saint-Germain, Lionel Messi could extend the adventure in the French capital, or go to other places. The French club hopes for its part to extend the contract of the Argentinian.

After a complicated first season at PSG, the former FC Barcelona striker has recovered his colors this season, at least from an individual point of view (36 appearances, 20 goals, 19 assists). Collectively, on the other hand, Paris missed its objectives, in particular in the Champions League (elimination in 8th by Bayern Munich; elimination in 8th of the Coupe de France by OM). That said, there is nothing to completely call into question the presence of the Pulga at the Parc des Princes next year for the management of the French club.

According to the newspaper’s revelations The Parisian, the entourage of Lionel Messi discusses with the leaders of Paris Saint-Germain concerning the extension of the lease of the Argentinian. The 2022 world champion has an option in his contract for a one-year extension. But the negotiations stumbled on one subject in particular.

Messi wants more

Courted by Saudi Arabia, who offered him a golden bridge, Lionel Messi would not lean for a departure in an exotic championship, but would naturally ask for a salary increase, both to compensate for the offer of Al-Hilal, but also to enhance his title of world champion acquired in Qatar, ahead of Kylian Mbappé. Currently, Lionel Messi receives 37 million euros per year at PSG.

For its part, Paris would not be ready to increase the emoluments of the Argentinian, while The Team recently claimed that the French club even wanted to lower Lionel Messi’s salary. To make his choice, the sevenfold Ballon d’Or, courted by Barça, will be attentive to the sporting situation of the French club, reveals The Parisianand in particular to the identity of the future coach, the departure of Christophe Galtier no longer making any doubt in the minds of Lionel Messi and his entourage.
