PSG fans have been handed some good news today, as the team's hierarchy is reportedly willing to offer Lionel Messi the option to extend his contract with the club beyond next season.
The Argentine ace signed a two-year deal with Les Parisiens last summer, and after one year together, the club believes that Messi's potential will explode during his second season. Hence, the wise thing to do would be to see him extending his deal for one more year.
The player's first year with Les Parisiens was not as impressive as fans could have expected, with the footballer scoring eleven goals in 34 games across all competitions. Nevertheless, the end of the season was enough to give fans a glimpse of Messi's abilites, and with the team's success in keeping Mbappé around, the main goal will be to maintain "La Pulga" on their roster beyond the end of the season.
The report by Marca suggests that Messi's inner circle has shown their delight for this offer, but they are yet to respond to the approach. Apparently, Messi's entourage and the player himself want to see how things go for the player in the 2022 FIFA World Cup, and if everything goes according to plan, the Argentine footballer could commit his future to the French side for one more year.
If this report ends up being true, those fans who wanted to see Messi making a shock return to Camp Nou will have to wait, especially since the player's inner circle has already voiced their discomfort regarding Joan Laporta's continuous words about the Argentine's exit from the club a year ago. Moreover, this move would also "delay" Messi's arrival to the MLS, where he will supposedly play for Inter Miami once his stint with Les Parisiens is over.
