Regarding Messi’s high spirits in PSG since the opening of the season, the 35-year-old forward player’s future is, once again, the center of attention. Part of the reason is his 2-year deal with Paris Saint-Germain will expire next summer, and the star still has no intention of extending his contract with the French club yet.
The PSG coach is trying his best to have contract extension talks with Messi. Meanwhile, Barcelona never stops longing for the Argentine footballer’s return. However, they will have to compete fiercely with Manchester City for the PSG star.
The best-case scenario is that Messi would join Manchester City and the Manchester United star Ronaldo would either receive a one-year contract renewal or move to an England club like Chelsea. Thus, the audience can enjoy the classic competition between two contemporary soccer legends Ronaldo and Messi, once more, or perhaps for one last time. This is the future most fans fancy.
