DBasia.news – Barcelona legend Rivaldo believes Neymar may have put pressure on PSG to sign Lionel Messi and there is also a chance that Messi will eventually move to the Ligue 1 club.
Currently Messi’s contract at Barcelona has one year left. He does not want to extend his tenure at the Camp Nou.
His future is thus still a puzzle. Several clubs have been linked with him, such as Manchester City and PSG.
Regarding these rumors, there is an interesting statement that has emerged from PSG star Neymar. He said he wanted to have another duet with La Pulga next season.
This came out of him after PSG played against Manchester United. At that time he managed to help his team win with a score of 1-3 at Old Trafford.

Rivaldo then commented on Neymar’s chatter. He knows that the Brazilian is a close friend of Lionel Messi.
Rivaldo also said that it is likely that Neymar has spoken about Messi with PSG management. He also believes the 28-year-old player has asked them to take advantage of the opportunity to bring La Pulga to the Parc des Princes.
“After the game [against Manchester United], Neymar said he would be delighted to work with Lionel Messi once again and discuss the possibility of that happening next season,” Rivaldo told Betfair, via Goal.
“They are friends and often chat. Knowing about Messi’s contract that will end with Barcelona, I am sure the Brazilian star will probably pressure his club to sign him next season,” he said.
Rivaldo added, with the current situation, the possibility of Lionel Messi moving to PSG is wide open. In fact, he also suspected that the management of Les Parisiens might have moved to persuade Messi to leave Barcelona next season.
“Messi will be free to negotiate with other clubs from January. So there is a possibility that he could move to France,” said Rivaldo.
“Messi seems to be looking for new adventures in his career and PSG are aware that they don’t have to pay anything to Barcelona to get it. The French club may be preparing steps to sign the Argentine star to partner Neymar,” he claimed.
“It would be great to see them play together again and I don’t think Neymar’s comments were an accident. Maybe he already knows PSG is talking to Messi,” said Rivaldo.
PSG will have no problem bringing Lionel Messi from Barcelona. Because they are a rich club and are able to provide exorbitant salaries.
