According to reports, Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) is getting ready to decide what will happen to Lionel Messi after his time with Argentina at the 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar.
The forward’s current agreement is slated to end in the summer of 2023, and he may strike a deal with another team during the winter transfer window.
The Times (via Football Espana) reports that Inter Miami, who are allegedly contemplating a substantial bid for La Pulga, may be interested in signing the Argentina captain.
The MLS team could have trouble finalising the agreement since PSG won’t allow Messi go. According to GOAL, the Argentine’s contract renewal has been given top priority by the Parc des Princes leadership for January.
The attacker is allegedly focusing on the FIFA World Cup in Qatar because it’s possible that this may be his final participation in the international event. The decision on his future won’t be made until Argentina’s campaign is over.
La Pulga has scored 12 goals in 19 appearances in all competitions for PSG this season. As he works to lead the Parisians to their first-ever Champions League championship, the attacker will be hoping his strong recent run of play can continue.
Lionel Messi, a star for PSG, is upset after missing the penalty against Poland.
Argentina needed to defeat Poland in order to go to the FIFA World Cup’s knockout phase, which they did thanks to two goals in the second half. Messi, though, missed a penalty attempt that would have given him the chance to start the scoring in the first half.
The little magician spoke candidly about his feelings after the game on what it was like to miss the penalty.
He said :
“I’m disappointed that I didn’t get the penalty. But when I made a mistake, the squad recovered stronger. The squad felt certain that we would win; all it took was for us to score the opening goal. The remainder of the game was then played according to our preferences.”
Argentina’s defeat against Saudi Arabia in their FIFA World Cup opener, according to the PSG superstar, was a lesson against complacency.
“After losing to start [the World Cup], we have gained a lot of knowledge. Everyone was dissatisfied and concerned since it was a horrible start. We need to proceed gently, therefore let’s do it now. We’re hoping to perform as well as we did today and continue to give it our all.”
When did he join PSG ?
Messi joined Paris Saint-Germain from Barcelona in August 2021 on a 2 year contract, and in his first season, he helped the team win the Ligue 1 championship.
How many goals does Messi have for PSG this season?
Due to the financial difficulties at the Spanish team, Messi was forced to leave teams in the summer of 2021.
The Argentine’s first season at PSG fell short of his expectations since he wasn’t scoring as frequently as he had been accustomed to. A more contented Messi appears to be back in good form by 2022.
Messi, Neymar, and Kylian Mbappe have created a dangerous combination under the new direction of Christophe Galtier, and they plan to win every trophy that is up for grabs this season.
