It is a well-known fact that hope dies last – this is also the case with Paris St. Germain. The Ligue 1 leaders want to extend the expiring contract with Lionel Messi. La Pulga has already rejected a first offer. But the PSG bosses are not deterred by this.
As reported by the Catalan newspaper Sport, a second offer for Messi is now in the works. Once all the details are written down, it is said to be submitted to father and agent Jorge Messi. PSG would like to extend by one to two years.
For the world footballer himself, a higher salary shouldn’t make a big difference. Messi’s focus is on the sporting perspective. Staying in Paris is only conceivable if PSG provides a team that meets the highest standards.
The competition lurks
The premature departure from the cup and the Champions League and the uncertain future of coach Christophe Galtier, squad planner Luis Campos, Messi’s buddy Neymar (31) and superstar Kylian Mbappé (24) have so far deterred Messi from signing in Paris.
Inter Miami, Al Hilal from Saudi Arabia and FC Barcelona are dreaming of a commitment. Messi has not yet made a decision about his future.
