Messi's father denies contacts with PSG
This is a very clear denial!
In recent hours,
ESPN Argentina
affirmed that Paris Saint-Germain was embarking on the race to recruit Lionel Messi and even specified that the Ile-de-France club had contacted the player's father in order to start negotiations next January;
date on which the Pulga, free in June, will be entitled to discuss with clubs.
However, this information was quickly denied by Jorge Messi, who denied, on social networks, having spoken with PSG.
Despite his desire to leave last summer - it was notably announced on the side of Manchester City - the Argentinian is still far from having left Catalonia.
The recent resignation of Josep Maria Bartomeu could well reshuffle the cards and convince him to extend in his training club.
Provided, of course, that the new management suits him.

Depay makes a new call of the foot to Barça ...
Tracked by FC Barcelona during the last transfer window, Memphis Depay finally remained at Olympique Lyonnais due to the financial problems of the Blaugrana.
But the 26-year-old striker hasn't put an end to his dream of joining the Catalan club.
After the meeting between the Netherlands and Spain (1-1), the Dutchman made a new appeal to FCB: “Who wouldn't like to sign for Barça?
It's a top club and there are a lot of them around the world.
But it is one of the biggest, he told
RTVE
.
The transfer window is closed so I don't focus on it.
I focus on becoming better and performing services that will make me better. ”
At the end of the contract next June, Memphis Depay will be free to engage with the club of his choice.
At FC Barcelona?
... but would not be made for the Catalan club according to a former Dutch international
If Memphis Depay would see himself wearing the FC Barcelona tunic, this is not the case for everyone.
Sander Westerveld, former goalkeeper of Vitesse Arnhem, Liverpool or Real Sociedad and ex-Dutch international, believes that the Lyon striker is not made for the Catalan club.
“I don't believe Depay is a player for Barça.
He's a good player, he's good for Lyon, he said on Radio Marca.
Koeman knows him well.
But in Barcelona you have to play very well in every game.
For me, he doesn't play every game at the level Barça needs, he's not the perfect player for Barça. "
Bayern Munich won't sell Alaba this winter
He will stay until the end of the season.
According to information from
SPORT BILD
, Bayern Munich do not intend to sell David Alaba this winter, even if his contract comes to an end next June.
The Bavarian club prefers to take the risk of seeing their defender leave for free next summer rather than losing an important element during the season, only to recover a sum of money.
As a reminder, negotiations between Bayern leaders and the Austrian player regarding his contract extension have recently come to a halt.
The 28-year-old will be free to chat with clubs next January.
