Since we know that Lionel Messi dragged his feet to extend to FC Barcelona, the name of PSG has obviously been mentioned.
The temperature suddenly rose a few more degrees in Barcelona last week when it was announced that Lionel Messi did not want to sign his extension with Barça. And inevitably, when a world star such as the Argentinian eventually finds himself on the transfer market, it should not be long before Paris Saint-Germain and Manchester City are mentioned. Because these two clubs seem to be the only ones with the financial means likely to convince Lionel Messi to sign. But in the columns of ABC, Sergi Font believes that the sixfold Ballon d’Or will not join either PSG or the Citizens, and that it is obviously in Barcelona that he will continue his career. To justify his thesis, the Spanish journalist enlarges a little the line concerning Paris and Manchester.
The reason for FC Barcelona’s absolute confidence in the Lionel Messi case is relatively simple. ” The information that came out does not seem to worry at Barça, they have no record of the change of opinion of Messi on his extension. The Argentinian’s roots in the club and in the city, the family stability he found in Barcelona and his strong financial claims would considerably limit the range of possible destinations. With a net salary of 35ME per year, only a few clubs could afford to suffer such an increase in payroll for a single player. And among them, none would offer him the extra-sports advantages he enjoys in Barcelona. The city of Manchester, where he could find Pep Guardiola cannot compete on the climatic level, the PSG of Neymar prevents him from enjoying the much needed beach and in Milan he would not find the tranquility he enjoys now. Because Lionel Messi does not want to leave for money Says the ABC reporter. Sand, sun and tranquility, that’s the secret to treating yourself to Lionel Messi, and Paris Plage will not be enough.
