Lionel Messi will sign a contract extension with PSG when he returns from vacation. His salary increase obtained by negotiating in Qatar does not pass in the eyes of Kylian Mbappé.
The last was the good one for Lionel Messi, so unhappy in the past with Argentina and who has now gone down in history by lifting the World Cup, the most prestigious trophy and the only one he lacked in his incredible record. A splendid revenge for the South American who was able to raise his head following sometimes complicated passages with his selection, when he was spat on by his own supporters and by the media of his country in 2016, who welcomed his international retirement. following his missed penalty once morest Chile in the Copa America final. A short retirement, and which allows the adventure to end well, even if Lionel Messi still plans to play some time with his selection.
PSG and Messi negotiated in Qatar
He intends to prolong the pleasure, as he explained following the final won once morest France. And this should also be the case PSG. Le Parisien confirms it once more this Friday, everything is complete with regard to Lionel Messi’s contract extension in Paris, and the Argentinian will still play at the Parc des Princes next season. A quick response that shuts down FC Barcelona or Inter Miami, two very talkative clubs in the media, but who will have to wait to recover the sevenfold, and perhaps soon eightfold Ballon d’Or.
PSG has indeed taken advantage of appointments in Qatar to carry out an incredible forcing in order to convince Lionel Messi to stay at least one more season. While Messi and his father Jorge had assured that nothing would be discussed or decided in Doha, quite the opposite happened with very specific meetings, including in the company of Luis Campos, the sporting director of PSG. As a result, as soon as he returns from vacation, in a few days, Paris might strike by announcing Lionel Messi’s new contract and thus cut short any possible rumor. Enough to allow everyone to focus on the second part of the season.

But according to Don Balon, this new contract negotiated in Qatar might also make people cough in the locker room. Indeed, Lionel Messi would have taken advantage of his status as the best player in the World Cup, of a possible new Ballon d’Or in prospect, to negotiate a higher salary, an incredible thing for a 35-year-old player. His status would thus be further strengthened, and the Spanish newspaper believes that Nasser Al-Khelaïfi and the capital club are thus taking the risk of offending a Kylian Mbappé who wants to be the sports boss of PSG. Already the roomy celebrations of Argentina once morest the Parisian number 7 have enough to make him wince, if in addition Qatar rolls out the red carpet to Lionel Messi, Mbappé risks asking questions at a time when his future is far from settled. This would also be the next hot issue for the capital club, which has planned to sit down quietly with Mbappé and his clan, who have also met several times in Qatar, to clarify the situation and why not tackle a further extension.
