French newspaper Le Parisien revealed on Wednesday that Lionel Messi, a World Cup winner in Qatar with Argentina, has reached an agreement with Paris Saint-Germain, France’s first division soccer club, to stay with the club at least for the 2023-2024 season.
Seven-time Ballon d’Or winner Messi, 35, helped Argentina win the World Cup by beating France on penalties in Sunday’s final.
And the newspaper said, without citing any sources: In early December, in the midst of the World Cup, an agreement was reached with Messi to stay at least for another season.
No PSG officials were immediately available for comment.
PSG president Nasser Al-Khelaifi said this month that Messi was happy with the Ligue 1 champions, adding that contract extension discussions would take place after the World Cup.
Messi, who has scored 12 goals and sent 14 assists for Paris Saint-Germain in all competitions this season, joined the French capital outfit from Barcelona in 2021 on a two-year deal.
