It is specified that the Argentine will not make a final decision on the continuation of cooperation with the club until March 8. On this day, PSG will play the second match in the 1/8 finals of the Champions League against Bayern. The possible departure of the Parisian team from the tournament could affect Messi’s plans.
On February 22, TyC Sports journalist Gaston Edoul stated that Messi intends to stay in Europe because he wants to win another Champions League victory. “He wants to be a clear candidate for the Ballon d’Or in August and also to come into the America’s Cup 2024 in good condition,” Edul added.
Messi signed an agreement with PSG in August 2021. Before that, he played for Barcelona throughout his career, with which he won the Spanish championship ten times and won the Champions League four times.
