DBasia.news – Lionel Messi failed to shine a light on Paris Saint-Germain (PSG). But it still makes Les Parisiens afraid of losing it.
Messi surprisingly had to leave Barcelona last summer. Regulations on the salary burden limit make it impossible for the Blaugrana to give him a contract extension.
PSG took advantage of this situation to woo the Argentine superstar. Messi is tied to a two-year contract.
High expectations accompany the arrival of Messi to PSG. La Pulga is expected to complete the French giant’s curiosity to win the Champions League.
Unfortunately the reality did not match expectations. Messi appeared less convincing throughout the season and led to PSG’s failure to win the Champions League.
Messi was recorded only able to pack 11 goals and 15 assists from 34 matches in all competitions. A statistic that is quite disappointing for a player who has collected seven Ballon d’Or trophies.
This less convincing performance in fact did not reduce PSG’s confidence. Nasser Al-Khelaifi’s club is quite sure Messi will perform better next season.
According to Marca’s report, PSG are even ready to offer Messi a contract extension. The player’s contract will expire in the summer of next year.
Not without reason PSG want to immediately extend Messi’s contract. The performance in question has made rapid progress since the second half of last season.
This makes Messi predicted to explode in the 2022-2023 season. Extending his contract as soon as possible will make PSG calmer.
The problem is, Messi does not want to rush to extend his contract at PSG. He will make a decision after the 2022 World Cup title, later this year.
The results obtained by the Argentine national team in the tournament are very likely to influence Messi’s decision. The 35-year-old player had indeed considered ending his career in his hometown.
