JAKARTA - Lionel Messi's future at Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) is still a question mark. The Argentine national team player's contract will expire at the end of the 2022/2023 season.
PSG management has stated that it will try to keep Messi amid the news of Barcelona's interest. The La Liga club is eager to bring the legend back to Camp Nou.
However, the latest news made Barcelona heartbroken. Messi is said to have agreed to extend his contract with PSG.
This news was conveyed by a well-known transfer expert from Italy, Fabrizio Romano, on his social media account.
"Paris Saint-Germain has reached a verbal agreement with Lionel Messi to extend the contract," Fabrizio Romano said on his Twitter account.
Romano said the duration of the contract and the amount of salary had not yet been determined. Both points will be discussed in the near future
"(President of PSG) Al Khelaifi and football adviser Luis Campos are working on the contract," Romano continued.
The 35-year-old has the right to hold talks with other clubs in January as his contract expires at the end of the season. He is often associated with Barcelona.
David Beckham's United States (US) club Inter Miami is also said to be interested in bringing Messi to Major League Soccer (MLS) competition.
However, none of the clubs carried out serious negotiations to recruit Messi, meanwhile PSG officials have been working on a proposal for the contract extension in recent months.
