Lionel Messi’s future has been a topic of much discussion in recent weeks, with the Argentina captain’s contract at Paris Saint-Germain set to expire in the summer.
There has been talk of a potential return to Barcelona for the seven-time Ballon d’Or winner, but according to recent reports, he may not be willing to take a pay cut to stay at PSG.
Cut Lionel Messi wage
The French champions are reportedly burdened by the high salaries of their star players and would need to cut their wage bill by as much as 30% in order to match Messi’s current wage next season. While PSG are said to be attempting to negotiate a lower wage for the football legend, Messi is reportedly unwilling to agree to such terms.
Meanwhile, Barcelona vice-president Rafa Yuste has confirmed the Spanish club’s interest in re-signing Messi. If he is unable to agree on a new deal with PSG, Messi will become a free agent in the summer, making him an attractive prospect for many clubs around the world.
Messi’s decision on his future is eagerly awaited by football fans across the globe. His potential return to Barcelona, where he spent his entire career before his move to PSG, would undoubtedly be a major story in the footballing world. However, if he decides to move on to a new club, it would be interesting to see where he ends up and how he performs in a new environment.
Lionel Messi focus
In the meantime, PSG and Messi are focused on their current season, with the French champions looking to win the UEFA Champions League and Messi aiming to continue his impressive form on the field. The football world will be eagerly anticipating his decision on his future, and it remains to be seen where he will end up next season.
