According to the Barcelona newspaper Sport, Lionel Messi was himself surprised. For the Argentinian clan, everything was in place and the latter had to sign before resuming training this Saturday. But Barca demanded that his salary drop below the new salary cap, otherwise their paths would separate.

“Sources close to the Messi family assure that the striker has not spoken to any other club officially so far, as he was convinced he would end up signing his contract extension. Despite everything, the Argentina international is convinced that he will continue to play at the highest level in a European team. He will therefore now sit down to listen to all the offers to come or those that had remained in the pipes due to his clear desire to continue defending the Blaugrana shirt for several more years. "

Mundo Deportivo believe Messi will bounce back in Paris. “The future of Leo Messi has taken a radical turn, and (...) in Paris, they reacted with optimism and took the initiative to sign the Argentine. Dressing Messi in the colors of PSG has been a desire of the French club for a long time. And although a few months ago he seemed to have given up, the truth is that in the offices of PSG we never definitively closed the Messi option. "

“Money is not a problem and the most important thing is to convince Leo of the project, adds the Catalan sports daily.

The photo posted by Neymar which featured Leo Messi with Ángel Di Maria, Marco Verratti, Leandro Paredes and the Brazilian, all PSG players, was understood at the club as a nod to a potential signing.

Now we'll have to see if this photo had great meaning or if it was just an anecdote at a holiday party. ”

With Messi, PSG would line up a galactic attack

For the Madrid sports newspaper AS, PSG is "the big favorite" to welcome Lionel Messi. Nasser al-Khelaïfi “has always dreamed of Messi and now he is closer than ever. He has no financial problem affording the salary he asks for, although he may have to do without a big star to make room for him. The spotlight is on Mbappé, one year from the end of his contract, and with a Madrid on the lookout. ”

Another important factor is Neymar, according to AS: "The Brazilian, a close friend of Messi, who recently extended in exchange for a leading sports project to build around him. He has never hidden his desire to play with him again. Messi and, despite Barca's attempts to bring them together, it seems we are closer to this happening in Paris.

There are compatriots like Paredes and Di María who would put him at ease, as well as good, attractive recruits like Ramos or Donnarumma. "

Marca is more cautious: “The first candidate, a priori, was PSG but Qatar's plans were no longer to sign Leo.

They are focusing on Mbappé's contract extension, which is the number one goal.

Neither in Qatar nor in Paris did anyone suspect the bomb that was going to fall. ”

Certainly, but the Parisian staff quickly got to work to complete, as quickly as possible, one of the most resounding transfers in football history.
