La Liga giants Barcelona are falling behind in the race to sign Argentine striker and club legend Lionel Messi.
Coming from the famous La Masia, Lionel Messi spent most of his career at La Liga club Barcelona.
The Argentine striker became one of the greatest in football history while wearing Barcelona’s famous Blaugrana shirt. He gave everything for the Catalan giants and took them to the top of world football. Messi won every possible trophy for the Blaugrana and his love for the club was unparalleled. That is why many times it was thought that the Argentine will only retire at the Camp Nou.
However, things turned out different. Despite Barcelona’s dominance on the pitch, their previous board managed them very poorly. As a result, the Catalan giants faced great economic turmoil. This resulted in Barcelona failing to register the contract of their best player, Lionel Messi.
Lionel Messi could stay at PSG
After his departure from Barcelona, Lionel Messi joined Ligue 1 side Paris Saint-Germain on a two-year deal. The striker had a rocky start to his Ligue 1 career. He scored just six goals in his debut season in the French league, which can be considered poor by the standards Lionel Messi has set for himself.
This time he has made a great start. Messi has already scored eleven goals and provided twelve assists this season. The Argentine striker is currently one of the fittest players in the world.
However, his contract with PSG will expire at the end of this season. hence there are rumors of a possible return of Messi in Barcelona. These rumors gained more fuel when the Barcelona board admitted that he wants to give up Messi.
But things are not looking good for the Catalan giants. According to reports from journalist Guillem Balague, Messi has no problem staying at PSG after this season.
The report further suggests that Lionel Messi wants to wait until the end of the Qatar World Cup to make a decision about his future. Messi will lead Argentina in the next World Cup in Qatar. This will be the Argentine’s last appearance at the perennial event.
Currently he is only thinking about his last chance to lift the trophy that has eluded him so far. Like Messi, Argentina is in great shape. Lionel Scaloni’s team is undefeated in the last 35 games. They will arrive at the World Cup as one of the favourites.
However, winning the World Cup is not going to be an easy task. Argentina will now want Messi to continue his rich form and reach the world cup in his best possible shape.
After the World Cup, if Messi decides to stay at PSG, this will surely be his last stage in Europe.
