In the final months of his contract with Paris Saint-Germain, Lionel Messi has been the subject of several possible transfers in the summer of 2023.

Having just won the World Cup, Messi is keen on David Beckham at Inter Miami. The Americans talked several times with Lionel Messi’s father, but never reached a consensus on a possible transfer to the Major League Soccer.

The representatives of Paris Saint-Germain also did not receive a positive response from Messi, but journalist Cesar Luis Merlo said that the Argentine star wants to stay at the Parc des Princes, despite another early exit from the Champions League.

“Until today, Lionel Messi’s position has not changed at all: he intends to stay at PSG.

Meetings are scheduled to extend the contract, which expires on June 30, to agree on certain details. Other destinations are currently not being considered.” – was his message on Twitter.

Since signing a contract with Paris Saint-Germain, Lionel Messi has played 64 matches. The ex-Barcelona player scored 29 times for the French champion and provided no less than 31 assists.

€50 million is Leo Messi’s market share according to Transfermarkt.
