Paris Saint-Germain and Lionel Messi are very relaxed about his future despite the fact that Barcelona have made it clear that they will try to bring him back next summer.
The Argentine’s contract expires at the end of this season, but there is an option for another year if Messi wants to extend his stay in Paris.
According to Ben Jacobs, the French champions are only considering this extra year and not anymore. However, the terms for any extension can be activated or negotiated by both parties, so if Messi stays, discussions are still needed.
The matter will be discussed after the World Cup and only then will Messi decide where he will play next season. It is said that the Barcelona legend is now settled in Paris and is very happy, but if Barca call him, would he want to come back?
Members of the Barcelona board of directors have publicly discussed their desire to bring the 35-year-old back to Spain and are likely to push further once the World Cup is complete.
Messi signed a 2+1 deal when he joined, so there is already an option to extend it beyond 2023. He was told that PSG are only considering this additional year and not anymore. But the terms of any extension could be triggered or negotiated by both sides, so if Messi stays, discussions are still needed.
