The future of Lionel Messi continues to preoccupy the world’s top reporters on a daily basis, who themselves admit that at this stage it is not possible to know whether the world champion will choose to extend his contract at Paris Saint-Germain, return to Barcelona after two years or perhaps try to end his career at the American Inter Miami. Today (Monday) Fabrizio Romano, who has already made a name for himself as a global transfer expert, also commented on this.
According to Romano, and as has already been published more than once, Paris Saint-Germain has made an official offer to Messi to extend his contract, but he is not ready to sign at this stage on the grounds that he first wants to understand what the goals of the project are, where the club is going and above all to understand who will coach the team next season At this point it has not yet been decided whether to continue with Christophe Galtier. According to Romano, Messi’s salary is not a consideration and on this subject there are agreements in principle.
By the way, on “Radio Monte Carlo” it was announced today that there is no intention to fire Galtier and that he will continue in their role as coach of Paris Saint-Germain until the end of the season, assuming that the team does not get involved in the championship fight against Marseille.

And back to Messi. As far as the Barcelona option is concerned, the Catalans at this stage have not made an official offer to Messi and it is doubtful that they will be able to do so soon due to the financial difficulties the club is in and its need to sell a number of stars and get rid of their districts in order to make room for Messi in the squad, but in Barcelona they certainly dream of closing the circle with Messi and senior officials at the Shomirim club with him in continuous contact.
And what about the American option? Romano said about the possibility of Messi moving to Miami: “I think it could take some more time, maybe only in 2024 or in two years. Inter Miami feels they have an opportunity to sign Messi, but he still wants to stay in Europe.”
