Paris Saint-Germain Football Association seeks to extend the contract of Argentine player Lionel Messi for another year until June 2024, the sports newspaper "Marca" reported today, Thursday.
This Spanish newspaper indicated that the French club had actually informed Messi, 35, of his desire to renew his contract.
Media reports said that Messi's contract includes a clause that allows the two parties to renew the contract for another year, but this information is inaccurate, according to "Marca".
The newspaper pointed out that Messi believes that it is still too early to resolve his position, which is consistent with the vision of his father, who is considered his main advisor in these affairs.
The Argentine newspaper "Ole" indicated that Messi puts the 2022 World Cup at the top of his priorities now, especially since he did not win the world title with his country throughout his football career.
The "Flea" had lost the World Cup final with the national team against his German counterpart in the 2014 edition in Brazil.
Messi left Barcelona, in which he spent all his football career, to Saint Germain in the summer of 2021 with a two-year contract in light of the financial crisis that the Catalan club was experiencing.
