JAKARTA - This week seems to be going so well for Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) player, Lionel Messi. Good things came over to the player nicknamed La Pulga.

The first good thing was his goal against Angers in the continuation of Ligue 1 at the Parc des Princes, Thursday, January 12 in the morning WIB.

The goal marked Messi's return after a long break after bringing the Argentine national team to the 2022 World Cup champions.

Good news for Messi came shortly ago. The former Barcelona player was nominated for the FIFA version of the World Player of the Year.

He will compete with top names such as Karim Benzema (Real Madrid), Kylian Mbappe (PSG), Robert Lewandowski (Barcelona), and several other names. Except for Cristiano Ronaldo who is not included in the list.

If you look at his achievements in 2022, Messi seems worthy of being pinned as a strong candidate.

Good news also surrounds Messi in terms of careers. Information circulated that the 35-year-old will soon extend his contract with PSG.

ESPN sources said Messi's father, Jorge, would fly to Paris to talk to club representatives, before the end of this month.

This could end speculation about the future of the former Barcelona player. Apart from being rumored to be returning to Camp Nou, Messi is also seen by European clubs such as Al Hilal (Arab Saudi) and Inter Miami (United States).
