Barcelona coach says Messi will decide on his future next week
Barcelona head coach Xavi has announced a deadline for PSG striker Lionel Messi to make a decision regarding his future. It is reported by Mundo Deportivo.
The specialist said that this will happen next week. “Now we have to leave him alone. Here the doors are open for him,” said Xavi.
The coach also noted that Messi will help Barcelona a lot. “We lack talent in the last third of the field and Leo always gives it to you,” Xavi added.
On June 1, PSG head coach Christophe Galtier said that the match of the 38th round of the French championship against Clermont, which will take place on June 3, will be the last for the 35-year-old Messi in the Parisian shirt.
Messi’s contract with the Parisians expires at the end of June this year. At the same time, the agreement had the option of extending for another season. The Argentine has been playing for the Parisian club since 2021, in which he became a two-time French champion. Prior to that, the striker played for Barcelona throughout his career. As part of the Catalans, he won the Spanish championship ten times and won the Champions League four times.
