Mercato PSG – Lionel Messi now closer to a departure than an extension in Paris

The experiment might therefore stop at two years. This Tuesday, The team announces that Lionel Messi is closer to a free start at the end of the season than to an extension at PSG. Still, following the World Cup, there was real optimism regarding the Argentine’s new contract in the capital. A verbal agreement had even been made in the middle of the World Cup with in particular Jorge Messi, the player’s father. But the second part of the Paris season, and Messi, seems to have weighed heavily in this turnaround.

The world champion would not be ready for any concessions to extend his contract, especially if it is down. This is obviously the crux of the problem. With a gross annual salary of 41 million euros, Messi weighs heavily on the Parisian payroll and limits, in fact, Parisian maneuvers on the transfer window. An offer with a salary cut by a quarter of the current one would have been submitted, which does not delight the Messi clan. Still, to this day, it remains the best in his possession.

Barca but…

Because if the announced contenders are numerous (FC Barcelona, ​​Inter Miami, Saudi Arabia), none have advanced their pawns as far as PSG. At Barça, his return remains a vivid dream and the Catalan club is exploring the financial conditions for such a move. But its financial constraints, its new sports management and its legal setbacks are all obstacles to an arrival in Catalonia.

If Barça holds the rope, it is also that the desire to compete in the Champions League remains intact in Messi, even if the hypothesis of an exotic destination is no longer so improbable according to L’Equipe. The current situation therefore seems clear: Paris does not seem able to take a step further where the Messi clan seeks to test the market. History of ending a marriage that never took.
