PSG working to renew Messi’s contract for two years, player open to the idea

In a complete circle of events, Barcelona have been linked to none other than Lionel Messi – their former captain, who left the club in the summer of 2021 on a free transfer. He joined Paris Saint-Germain, forming what sounded like an incredible attack, alongside Neymar and Kylian Mbappe.

While his first year was one to forget, Leo has gone all guns blazing this season, and is, once again, among the best players in the world. For context, he has scored six goals and provided nine assists in Ligue 1, sitting just one behind Neymar (16) for direct goal contributions.

Evidently, now performing back on a level he is expected to, the fans have warmed up to him, and the club is ready to offer him a one-plus-one-year contract extension, as reported by Le Parisien.

Messi has already admitted in a couple of interviews at this point about how he is feeling much more at home in Paris this campaign. And as such, is open to the idea of renewing his contract.

However, it has been repeated time and again at this point that Messi and his family will not take a decision on his professional future, at least until after the World Cup.

Argentina are among the favourites for the trophy, and the legendary captain has already confirmed that it would, in fact, be his last World Cup.

Until then, expect more rumours, twists, and turns about Leo’s future.
