According to journalist Marcelo Bechler, PSG were confident in landing Lionel Messi this summer. The Ligue 1 giants offered a huge sum of money to the Argentine with nightlife in Paris. While Messi could have got a chance to play with his former Barcelona teammate Neymar in his next season.
Lionel Messi, the Barcelona legend is currently out of contract and a free agent who is waiting to sign his new contract. The Catalans are late to offer a new contract to their legend due to their current financial situation. But Barcelona are now ready to offer a five-year contract to Lionel Messi in the next few days.
The Argentine will be signing his new contract which will make him play until he turns 40. While Messi will also be taking a huge pay cut in his contract in order to help Barcelona in this tough time. But before this good news, a huge soap opera went on with Messi’s life where PSG is the main character.
The Italian journalist Marcelo Bechler revealed how close and confident PSG were in singing Messi for free this summer. Marcelo tweeted “PSG was very confident and wanted Messi very much. “They offered him everything money could buy. Neymar really wanted to play with his idol again. “Messi wants to stay in the club of his life.”
The Ligue 1 giants have already done great work in the transfer window and signing Messi this summer would have made it a complete team. But that’s a dream now as Messi is confident to end his football career at Barcelona. Messi will join the Catalans shorty as his holidays have ended after winning the Copa America. While it is speculated that Messi could be featured in the Joan Gamper Trophy match this Sunday.
