paris saint germain however, he maintains his intention to renew the contract Lionel Messi which expires on June 30, but the French press assured today that the club “is not willing” to comply with the “requests” of the Argentine champion.
According to RMC Sports, PSG and selected team captain maintain ‘principle of agreement’ and they are “under negotiation” even if there are still “details to be defined”. What “details? One of the decisions to be made is if the parties activate the additional year which is in one of the clauses of the link signed in August 2021 or create a new contract.
In the event of a new contract, the same outlet reported that Messi wants to earn a salary similar to that of his teammate Kylian Mbappé. And there the differences arise given that the PSG “is not willing” to give in to the requests of the player who will turn 36 six days before the expiry of the contract.
The media even claim that “not everyone within the club is convinced” of renewing Messi’s contract.
In between these releases, MLS rubs their hands. It’s that, in the US league, they hope Leo doesn’t renew with PSG and that he doesn’t find a drinkable destination where he can compete for the Champions League to enter and play.
If the planets align in that direction, North America already has a master plan to seduce the Argentine. There they see in Messi the best face to sell the two major competitions that will be played in that land in the coming years: the America’s Cup 2024 and the World Cup 2026. And although there is no mention of a top-level championship, the agreement with Apple TV for 2.5 billion dollars means a more than important injection to favor the arrival of what is perhaps the best player in the history of football.
But Messi continues in Europe, more precisely in France. And, as he said an alleged member of the “Collectif Ultras Paris” group (which occupies one of the sources of the Parque de los Príncipes stadium) to the As of Spain newspaper, The ultras are preparing a hostile reception for Messi who “will be booed” in next Sunday’s match against Rennes. There, the reunification with the Parisian public will take place, after the elimination in the European Champions League.
