PSG contract extension for Lionel Messi. When post-World Cup negotiations start, Lionel Messi promised PSG he will extend his contract, but the club insists nothing is final. The Argentine legend promised to wait to talk about a new deal until after the World Cup, but talks appear to have progressed rapidly in the wake of Argentina’s victory because the player promised to stay with the team for another 72 hours after the team won the tournament. However, the club has issued a warning that nothing has yet been put in writing due to contradicting information.
The choice to remain in France has put off any future aspirations, as had been rumored in recent months, to leave the continent and sign with MLS. For the time being, he will turn down offers from American clubs and continue his professional career in Paris, where PSG will be vying for the Ligue 1 and Champions League titles in the coming weeks.
One of the teams most frequently mentioned in connection with a Messi transfer was Inter Miami. The Argentine is rumored to spend his vacations in Miami, and some rumors claimed that his representation was in talks about a possible transfer to the Major League Soccer. However, that concept now appears to be dead and buried — at least for the time being. Messi will come back to Paris after winning the World Cup. The club’s goals include winning both the league and the European Cup.
