Paris Saint-Germain president Nasser Al-Khelaifi has claimed that a decision on the future of Lionel Messi will not be made before the New Year, ...

It has given way to speculation that a return to Barcelona could be on the cards, with manager We are very happy and Leo’s very happy with us too. Messi joined PSG last year and has become a talismanic figure for the Ligue 1 champions despite a slow start to life in France.

The PSG stars are going head to head in the World Cup final between France and Argentina.

- Neymar Jr - 30 - Paris Saint-Germain - £71m (£45m on-field, £36m off-field) - Lionel Messi - 35 - Paris Saint-Germain - £99m (£54m on-field, £45m off-field) This is due largely to his staggering £90m on-field earnings. His semi-final appearance saw him equal Lothar Matthaus' haul of 25. However, if you thought this deal would have left the Ligue 1 side strapped for cash, you'd be wrong, as it handed out the biggest ever contract in football history to their other superstar, Kylian Mbappe, earlier this year. He then moved to French champions Paris Saint-Germain, where he is reportedly paid around £700,000 per week by the club.

Lionel Messi is set to meet Kylian Mbappe and France in the World Cup final later today.

Lionel Messi is currently the talk of the town following his heroics in the FIFA World Cup that helped Argentina secure the coveted title for the first time ...

Therefore, it is PSG who are the favourites to keep hold of Messi next season. Barcelona, for one, are harbouring the ‘dream’ of re-signing Messi next summer. But there are multiple parties interested in securing his services at the end of the season.

Kyllian Mbappé was devastated after losing the World Cup final against Argentina on Sunday. The French striker received the support of his teammates after ...

And he also hopes that there will be a gesture from PSG and the Qatari owners, opening up to negotiate a transfer for less than 150 million euros. Both he and his camp feel that they have fully complied with PSG by staying in Paris until the World Cup in Qatar and that now is the time to leave. He wanted a more powerful project to exploit his qualities and they have not done that, as he thought he was promised when he renewed.

The mercurial forward was frustrated with the way things were being done at PSG before leaving for the World Cup with France, which had his full focus in recent ...

They turned down offers of upwards of €180m two summers ago, in order to persuade him to stay, and with two more seasons on his contract, the power lies with them. It would be a case of making his desire known, either publicly or privately, in order to lay the groundwork for an exit next summer. Kylian Mbappe will head on his holidays after an exhausting World Cup ended in the most bitter fashion for the France team.

PSG president Nasser Al-Khelaifi was once again asked about Kylian Mbappe's future. The president made it clear that the French player is happy and ...

The French striker scored a hat-trick for France but Argentina netted three more goals and they had to play penalties. Well before the final, PSG president Nasser Al-Khelaifi was once again asked about his future. [Kylian Mbappe](https://www.besoccer.com/player/k-mbappe-lottin-234474) was beaten in the World Cup final in Qatar.

The French club hope to tie Messi down to a new contract with his deal up in June.

All this, added to the good 'feeling' that he maintains with Al-Khelaïfi, and his desire to win the Champions League again, allows the club to think that he will continue playing in Paris. In this sense, he has already fulfilled all the objectives that a footballer can dream of and the time has come for him, beyond the demands with which he has lived throughout his career, to enjoy football in the most playful sense of the word. The sensations at the Parisian club are good and there is optimism about the renewal of the Argentine.

Could Lionel Messi's performances at the Qatar 2022 World Cup for Argentina convince him to prolong his career at the very highest level?

Many in Argentina are calling for him to play in the USA, Mexico and Canada in 2026 so that he would become the only player in history to play in six World Cups. In his press conference after the final, Argentina head coach Lionel Scaloni said that “if he wants to, the number 10 is his at the next World Cup”. After a hectic end to the year, he’ll take the time he needs to rest up before returning to Paris to do what he does best. Messi has already won seven of them and his eighth might be in the post after PSG want Messi to stay on and have already drafted up a new contract that’s waiting to be signed, a strategy which worked for Al Khelaïfi with Kylian Mbappé, who had looked set at one stage to move on away from the French capital. The World Cup has already proved that, however, which might well put Inter Miami’s dreams of taking him to MLS on the backburner for now.
