The Spanish newspaper "Marca" reported that the French club Paris Saint-Germain recently discussed the future of Argentine player Lionel Messi, after speculation that he could return to Barcelona again.
The Spanish newspaper, "Marca", confirmed that the future of Argentine player Lionel Messi had been discussed extensively within the French club Paris Saint-Germain, after leaving the Champions League against Real Madrid.
Some news has spread recently, about the French club's intention to abandon the player, with the possibility of him returning to Barcelona again.
The newspaper pointed out that the French club believes in the necessity of Messi's presence in the team for several reasons, the most important of which is Kylian Mbappe's approach to moving to Real Madrid.
The other reason is the recent decline in Neymar's level and the fans' attack against him, and the possibility of his departure as well next summer.
The newspaper pointed out that Saint-Germain's future plans include Messi's presence in the team until the end of his two-year contract, with the possibility of an additional year extension if both parties agree.
It is not yet clear what role Messi will play after Mbappe's departure, as he currently plays in the playmaker's position, but it is expected that he will move to a more decisive place in terms of scoring after the Frenchman left Princes Park.
And "Marca" indicated that Messi still wants to return to the podiums of the European Champions League, a tournament that Paris insists on winning.
The player also aspires to obtain the award for the best goal maker in the French league, as he has made 11 goals in 18 matches so far, compared to 10 for Mbappe.
The Argentine also turns his attention to the World Cup in Qatar next November, where he sees it as his last chance to be the world champion, and then he will be 35 and a half years old.
