The president of PSG, Nasser Al-Khelaïfi, indicated for the Spanish newspaper brand that the Ligue 1 leader hoped to extend Lionel Messi’s contract, as well as those of Kylian Mbappé and Sergio Ramos. After a rather disappointing first season for Lionel Messi in the French capital, the 2022 world champion has upped his game this year. This did not prevent PSG from being ingloriously taken out of the Champions League at the stage of the round of 16 by Bayern Munich, who had just fired their coach.

For its part, the MLS hopes to attract the former FC Barcelona striker into its nets this summer. The North American championship is even considering modifying its regulations, concerning salaries, or offering the Argentinian a future MLS franchise, to convince him. Sufficient ?

Barça out of the race?

Always performing, the seven-time Ballon d’Or may not want to leave Europe. In this sense, FC Barcelona hopes to bring back its prodigy this summer, as the president of Barça, Joan Laporta, confirmed to the press. But in comments reported by Mundo Deportivothe president of La Liga, Javier Tebas, showered Catalan hopes in the file: “A lot of things have to change for Lionel Messi to come back to Barcelona. First of all, he has to drastically lower his salary, the club has to get rid of players and other things he hasn’t done yet. They are the only ones who can do it. We will not change the rules”.

Watched by La Liga, Barça will not be able to be free on the transfer market this summer. Barring major changes on the side of the leader of the Spanish championship, in financial difficulty, Lionel Messi should not sign at Barça… nor at PSG: “(Lionel) Messi cannot be at Barcelona or PSG next season. In fact, PSG earn less money than Barcelona” announced Javier Tebas, who has had a tooth against the French club for months.
