35-year-old Lionel Messi may leave PSG as per reports

The World Champion Lionel Messi could be entering his last stage as a player for Paris Saint Germain according to the most recent information. Even though at first, it seemed that he was very close to renewing his contract with the French club, he would currently handle other possibilities. It is important to specify that 'Lío''s contract with the Parisians ends on June 30, 2023, so time continues to advance to reach an agreement.

Gerard Romero, renowned Spanish journalist and content creator for digital platforms, assured us this Monday, January 23, that the Rosario athlete would not be intending to renew with PSG. According to the statements of the aforementioned communicator, this would be the current idea of Messi "till this day".

The 35-year-old striker's decision would have a lot to do with winning the World Championship in Qatar 2022. “Today Messi's intention is not to extend his contract. The victory as the World Champion changed the footballer's thinking and valued other things for the immediate future, ” Romero explained.

The report contrasted with what had been previously rumoured about the possible renewal of the player's contract with the French team. Before and during the World Cup, it was pointed out that the player could be convinced to continue at the Parc des Princes through a contract with a large salary.

For this reason, it was taken for granted that the 'Flea' had agreed to continue in the team and the only thing left to agree on was the duration of the contract, either for one or two seasons in Frech League. Meanwhile, the Paris Saint board of directors-Germain will have to close the deal, taking into account the list of teams that would go for the striker.

“Leo seems happy to me in Paris, but then we have to see what he thinks of the PSG project, on the part of the club there is the desire to prolong. This is something that he did not address with the player, he sees it directly with Luis Campos (sports advisor) and the president Nasser Al-Khelaifi", the coach, Christophe Galtier, anticipated a few days ago.

Among other options that have been linked to Messi, by the international media, a possible return of the athlete to Barcelona stands out. Mention has also been made of American League's Inter Miami, Newell's Old Boys and even Al-Hilal FC, of the Arab League, a rival to Cristiano Ronaldo's Al-Nassar.
