Although it was announced during the World Cup in Qatar that Messi and the management of the club “Paris Saint-Germain” had reached an agreement on a contract extension, the matter is still far from being resolved.

Messi refused PSG’s first offer

A day ago, Lionel Messi’s father met with the management of the Parisians, but after discussions, the world champion refused the first offer to extend the contract, writes L’Equipe.

If in November they announced that a new contract would be signed after the end of the 2022 World Cup, the French could not come to an agreement with the seven-time Golden Ball winner.

The contract extension offer, due this summer, was meant to coincide with an option included in the commitment signed in 2021 that provided for an additional year. But due to the financial problems experienced by PSG, the conditions were revised.

According to L’Equipe, autumn talks with Luis Campos and Nasser Al-Khelaifi have been successful, but a deal looks less and less likely as the weeks go by.

Lionel Messi tempted by Inter Miami

If a return to Barcelona seems out of reach, there has recently been talk of an offer from MLS.

David Beckham’s club Inter Miami are interested in Messi, who could be tempted by the terms offered by the Americans.

In the last six months of the contract, the captain of the national team of Argentina can already sign a contract with any team as a free agent.
