The reports surrounding Lionel Messi's future at Paris Saint-Germain do not stop.
In recent days, it was announced that the father of the star, Jorge Messi, met this week with the president of Barcelona, Juan Laporte, in the Catalan media it was later claimed that the talks for his return are being accelerated, while in the French media, as well as those close to the player, they strongly denied this and made it clear that these are spins on the part of the president of Barcelona, who is involved in a serious affair, and that Messi's intention is to extend his contract at PSG.
However, today (Friday) it was written in the newspaper "Le Parisien" that there is another factor that needs to be taken into account before it is possible to understand where the Argentine world champion will play next season.
According to the report, the elimination in the round of 16 of the Champions League by Bayern Munich, could certainly lead to the end of his career in France after two years.
Will his future even be decided next month in Munich?

The talks between the 35-year-old Messi and Paris Saint-Germain regarding the extension of the contract are very advanced and it has already been reported in the past that most of his terms have been agreed upon, but in "Le Parisien" it is written that if PSG is eliminated from the Champions League next month in Munich, in the first match it is known Surrendered at home 1:0 to the Bavarians, this could mean that Messi will have to reduce his salary - an option that is apparently not on the agenda for him.
Even in the sporting aspect, another expulsion from the Champions League may have an impact on his decision on where to play next season.
Therefore, if Paris Saint-Germain is kicked out of the Champions League in about two weeks and from a financial point of view cannot afford to offer Messi at least the same salary even on a contract for one or two more years, it is not impossible that he will choose to leave - either to Barcelona, to Inter Miami who are known to be pursuing him vigorously, or perhaps to another team that can offer him huge sums or a sporting challenge.
Also the Argentinian Newells, in Media Gadel, fantasizes about bringing him back and sometimes the Argentine journalists mention that this is also a possibility that Messi talked about in the past when he was asked where he wants to retire.
