newspaper saiddemSpanish The Argentine star, Lionel Messi, has not yet renewed his contract with Paris Saint-Germain, while Barcelona fans still want to see their former captain in Catalonia.
The newspaper indicated that Messi’s brother, Matias, and what he wrote about Messi’s return to Barca is not currently possible as long as Juan Laporta is the president.
According to the newspaper, Messi’s return is possible in 2026 when Laporta’s term ends.
And in Barcelona they already know that Messi will extend his contract with Paris Saint-Germain for another year and he will be free in 2024. That is, one year before the next elections for the presidency of Barcelona.
The newspaper expected that Juan Laporta’s opponents would approach Messi because they knew he wanted to return.
Messi, the seven-time Ballon d’Or holder for the best player in the world, joined Paris in 2021 for two seasons (in addition to an optional season) in a transfer that surprised the world of round football from the club he loved to his heart, Barcelona, Spain, where he spent most of his career.
Messi, at the age of thirty-five, must decide his future, several weeks after he led the “Albiceleste” team to its third world title in the 2022 Qatar World Cup.
And last Sunday, the Portuguese Luis Campos, football advisor in Paris Saint-Germain, confirmed that the capital club is “currently discussing” the extension of Messi’s contract, which expires next June.
