TOP STORY: PSG, Messi still aways from new deal
Paris Saint-Germain and Lionel Messi have aways to go before agreeing to a new contract extension, according to L’Equipe.
Jorge Messi, the father of Lionel who also serves as his son’s agent, held talks with PSG on Wednesday in which the club revealed they are looking to reduce the Argentina captain’s salary. That has created a level of uncertainty over Messi’s future at the Parc des Princes amid interest from Major League Soccer’s Inter Miami.
Previous reports have stated the 35-year-old’s future at PSG will depend on their performance in the Champions League. PSG are down 1-0 to Bayern Munich following Tuesday’s first-leg defeat in the competition’s round of 16.
The report comes after sources told ESPN on Wednesday that PSG president Nasser al Khelaifi and Chelsea co-owner Todd Boehly met on Tuesday in Paris to discuss a potential transfer of Neymar. The 31-year-old Brazil playmaker is under contract in PSG until June 2027 and earns €30 million a year, but he is currently out of favour with the Ligue 1 leaders.
