Lionel Messi opens up on life at PSG amid exit speculations: “I feel great”

Speaking in an interview, Lionel Messi has admitted that he feels great at Paris Saint-Germain even as his future at the club continues to remain uncertain.

Messi signed for PSG in 2021, leaving Barcelona as a free agent after the Catalans were unable to renew his contract.

Having moved to France, the 35-year-old endured a slow start to life but eventually picked up steam in 2022, helping Les Parisiens to Ligue 1 success.

Messi started the 2022/23 campaign on fire, showcasing terrific form while he also led the Argentine national team to the FIFA World Cup triumph in Qatar.

However, the 35-year-old’s future at PSG has become a topic of intense debate as his current contract expires at the end of the ongoing season.

While it was speculated that he might continue at the club for one more year, recent reports seem to suggest that Messi is not favouring a new contract in Paris.

It has alerted clubs like Inter Miami and Barcelona, who are keen on signing Messi as a free agent in the summer.

Amidst this, though, the 35-year-old has said that he feels great at the club, while also shedding light on what has changed for him between last season and this season.

As quoted by Fabrizio Romano, he said: “I feel great at PSG. The first year cost me a lot to adapt to Paris, but now I feel good with a lot of desire to feel comfortable in the club and in the city. I’m enjoying it a lot.”

“This season I started it differently with a lot of enthusiasm.”

Barcelona, as mentioned earlier, are eager to bring back Messi after how things went down with regard to his exit back in 2021. It has even been reported that club president Joan Laporta held a meeting with Jorge Messi recently.

But it remains to be seen if a return materialises, considering the position that Barcelona are in with respect to the Financial Fair Play regulations.
