Ligue 1 outfit Paris Saint-Germain have yet to offer their Argentine star Lionel Messi a contract extension.
After starting his football at Newell’s Old Boys academy, Messi joined FC Barcelona’s youth setup in Spain. He then finished his football training at the famous La Masia before and was promoted to the main team.
In the following years, Lionel Messi became one of the best players in the history of football. From Pelé to Maradona and Pep Guardiola to Mourinho, everyone praised the greatness of the little magician. He became an icon for the world of soccer. Messi gave everything for Barcelona and won everything possible with the Catalans.
His loyalty to Barcelona was unquestionable and it was thought, Messi will end his football career in Barcelona. But just like the game of football, there is always a twist in our life. Despite Barcelona’s success on the pitch, the Catalan club was very poorly managed. This resulted in great economic turmoil. Finally, he had to lose the services of Lionel Messi when Barcelona failed to sign the Argentine player. Messi then joined Ligue 1 team Paris Saint-Germain.
The Argentine has not yet received the offer from PSG
After joining the French club, Lionel Messi did not have an ideal start with the Ligue 1 giants. The Argentine scored just six goals in 26 games, which is obviously not even average by his high standards. He provided fourteen assists in the league that can be considered good. Despite PSG’s league victory, it was not a very good campaign for the Argentine.
However, as Messi has always done throughout his career, he found his form again and started the current season very well. The Argentine striker has already scored five goals and provided eight assists for PSG. And in doing so he has shown that he can succeed under any conditions.
Lionel Messi signed a two-year contract with PSG last season. So he’s now entered the final year of his contract and he’s got about nine months left.
Earlier, The Sun reported that Messi wants to think about his contract situation at the moment only after the world cup.
PSG have also not officially offered any new contract to the Argentine superstar. But it has been understood that they want to stay with Messi and they will do so soon.
Whats Next?
Lionel Messi is currently with his national team, Argentina. The Argentine captain scored a brace against Jamaica in a 3-0 win and is in fine form. In the process, Messi secured his 100th win for Argentina.
The little wizard will now rejoin PSG and hopes to continue his great form to reach the World Cup in Qatar in top form.
