Argentine superstar Lionel Messi has made the decision to stay at Ligue-1 club Paris Saint-Germain.
Hailing from the famous La Masia, Lionel Messi spent most of his career with La Liga giants FC Barcelona.
The Argentine striker established himself as one of the best players in the history of football while wearing the Blaugrana shirt, Messi led Barcelona to the top of football and to all possible trophies. His love for the Catalan club was unparalleled. For this reason, many times it was thought that Messi would only retire with the Barcelona shirt.
However, things turned out different. Despite their performances on the pitch, Barcelona was severely mismanaged for over a decade, leading to a major financial crisis for the club. As a result, Barcelona failed to register the contract of its best player, Lionel Messi.
Lionel Messi will stay at PSG
Following his departure from Barcelona, ​​Lionel Messi joined Ligue 1 giants Paris Saint-Germain in the summer of 2021. Messi had a rocky start to his career at PSG. He only scored six goals in his debut season in Ligue 1, which can be described as poor by the standards Messi has set for himself.
Things got worse when the Argentine suffered multiple injuries and was affected by COVID-19. However, he managed to win Ligue 1. And now, finally, Messi is back to his natural self. The Argentine striker already has twelve goals for PSG in this one. He has also assisted fourteen other goals.
Messi is currently one of the fittest players in the world. However, the Argentine’s contract with PSG will expire at the end of the season. Looking at this, many clubs have already tried to contact Messi’s camp.
But now, according to a report by L’Equipe, Lionel Messi does not want to leave PSG without winning a major trophy. Therefore, Messi’s team has started negotiations with PSG about a possible contract renewal.
It was previously reported that the American club Inter Miami is in talks with Lionel Messi. Messi’s former club Barcelona are also in the running for the Argentine striker. But with the recent development, it seems that Messi could stay at PSG.
Messi aiming at the world cup
However, before making a final decision, Lionel Messi will be present at the next World Cup in Qatar 2022. Argentina is one of the favorites for the tournament and Messi wants to lift the only trophy that has eluded him so far.
The PSG striker is currently nursing an Achilles tendon injury he recently sustained. Fortunately for the Argentine team, it is a minor injury and Messi will be fit for the next World Cup in Qatar 2022.
The Forward is expected to return to training next week. Messi will now hope to get back to top form from him ahead of the perennial event.
