Lionel Messi has been offered an unbeatable contract of two years with the option of a further year and PSG’s iconic number 10 jersey as the club look for every possible ways to sign him on a free transfer this summer.
The 33-year-old’s contract talks at Barcelona has remained unclear this season with reports hinting at his exit, having spent almost two decades with the Catalan giants.
Recall that the Argentine had told the club he wish to leave last year, following their humiliating 8-2 defeat by Bayern Munich in the Champions League.
Although Joan Laporta, in the wake of his appointment, announced that Lionel Messi might extend his stay, due to the quality of players in the team.
But it appears that the option to reunite with his friend and former teammate Neymar, and potentially have a go at the Champions League under Mauricio Pochettino might be too hard for Lionel Messi to turn down.
PSG are on the rise in the Champions League and are in the semi-finals this season, having made the final last season.
The exact figures regarding the contract offer made by PSG hasn’t been revealed, and it’s unlikely Barcelona will be able to match it considering their dire financial situation at the moment.
