Lionel Messi He left FC Barcelona in 2021 to join French capital club Paris Saint-Germain (PSG). Although his move to Ligue 1 champions was not something he wanted, the Camp Nou financial situation forced Argentina to move away from the Spanish giants. Messi signed a contract with PSG until 2023, but the club are now keen to sign the seven-time Ballon d’Or holder until 2024.
Paris Saint-Germain have already communicated their desire to keep the player until 2024 and they plan to extend it soon. However, the little magician has told the club that he is not interested in making a decision about his future until the 2022 FIFA World Cup. According to Marca, Messi has told the club that he will decide on his future after the 2022 World Cup.
Messi signed a two-year contract at PSG last summer after he arrived on a free transfer after an abrupt exit from Barcelona. The 35-year-old has the option of an additional year at the Parc des Princes. Messi has scored 14 goals in all competitions. This was Messi’s worst season in the last 10 years. Not to be forgotten, he is the man with the most golden balls (Ballon d’Or).
