Paris Saint Germain still maintains the intention of renewing
Lionel Messi
's contract,
which expires on June 30, but the French press assured today that the club "is not willing" to comply with the "demands" of the Argentine star.
According to RMC Sport,
PSG and the captain of the team maintain a "principle of agreement"
and are "in negotiations" although there are still "details to be resolved."
What "details? One of the decisions to be made is
whether the parties activate the additional year
that is in one of the clauses of the link signed in August 2021
or a new contract is put together
.
In the event of a new contract, the same outlet reported that Messi wants to earn a salary similar to that of his teammate Kylian Mbappé.
And there the differences appear since PSG "is not willing" to give in to the footballer's demands that he will turn 36 six days before the end of the contract.
The media even affirm that "not everyone within the club is convinced" to renew Messi's contract.
In the midst of these versions, in the MLS they rub their hands.
It is that, in the United States league, they hope that Leo does not renew with PSG and that he does not find a drinkable destination where he can compete for the Champions League to enter to play.
If the planets align in that direction, in North America they already have a master plan to seduce the Argentine.
There they see Messi as the best face to sell the two great competitions that will be held in that land in the coming years: the
2024 Copa América
and the
2026 World Cup
.
And although we are not talking about a top-level league, the agreement with Apple TV for 2.5 billion dollars means a more than important injection to facilitate the arrival of what is perhaps the best player in the history of soccer.
But Messi continues in Europe, more precisely in France.
And, according to what
an alleged member of the "Collectif Ultras Paris" group
(which occupies one of the headwaters of the Parque de los Príncipes stadium) told the newspaper As in Spain,
the ultras are preparing a hostile reception for Messi
who "will be whistled" at the game next Sunday against Rennes.
There the reunion with the Parisian public will take place, after the elimination in the European Champions League.
