The future of
Lionel Messi
, who returned to PSG training this Friday after Thursday's absence, is a big unknown.
It is known that
Jorge Messi , the footballer's father and manager, has a talk with
Nasser Al Khelaïfi
, the owner of
Paris Saint-Germain
, pending
.
And that from that conversation the continuity of him or not in the almighty French club will be resolved, which was badly injured after the elimination in the round of 16 of the Champions League
at
the hands of
Bayern Munich
.
In the middle, rumors are the order of the day.
That in
PSG
they will not make too much effort to retain him.
That
Barcelona
is crouching waiting for an opportunity to recover it beyond its disturbing financial problems.
That
MLS
has a master plan to convince him to cross the Atlantic.
And until in
Saudi Arabia
they have a few oil wells reserved for him to tempt him and for him to become
Cristiano Ronaldo
's archrival again .
However, his situation for now is a mystery.
And it is a mystery even for
Christophe Galtier
, PSG coach, who also does not know much about his fate once the season ends.

"Regarding his future, it is too soon to know what will happen. I know that Leo, the sports management and the president exchange a lot of things
. I do not know the details of the discussion. If Leo should be here next season, I have already said it "It is the will of both parties.
Leo is happy in the locker room. He has 18 goals and 17 assists this season
," Galtier said in a complimentary tone towards the captain of the Argentine National Team who three months ago unlocked the last level of his career by winning the World Cup in Qatar 2022.
The DT also warned that the rosarino crack was not the only one responsible for the fall in the one-on-one with Bayern Munich.
"
I saw some criticism in the match against Bayern. But he was not the only one. He was decisive very often
. He is an important player because of his daily behavior in the dressing room. He trains every day, he is always happy to play, to play good to his teammates," he described.
Yes, everything suggests that if Galtier is still on the bench, he would be delighted to have Messi among his managers.

Messi returned to training this Friday after missing Thursday's session for unknown reasons.
The Argentine worked normally with a very small group of 19 players, including the goalkeepers.
Captain Marquinhos, who suffered a rib injury and was ruled out of the match in Brest last weekend, practiced separately.
PSG, comfortable leader of Ligue 1 in France with 10 points ahead of
Olympique de Marseille
, will play this Sunday, starting at 1:05 p.m., at the Parc des Princes against Rennes, which is fifth in the table.
It will be the team's first presentation at home after the elimination in Munich.
It will be necessary to see how the local fans react when the team jumps onto the playing field.
