Lionel Messi has reached an agreement in principle to renew his Paris Saint-Germain contract, according to Guillem Balague.
Messi’s current PSG deal is set to expire next summer, which has recently led to talk of a potential return to Barcelona.
Barca President Joan Laporta has publicly expressed his willingness to bring Argentina’s World Cup-winning captain back to the Nou Camp, but it is believed Messi is instead set to remain in Paris for another year.
He is understood to have agreed a renewal which also includes the option of a further year should he wish to stay at PSG until 2025.
Messi, who has spent the last 18 months at PSG, finally got his hands on the World Cup at the fifth time of asking last weekend, scoring twice in Argentina’s triumph over France.
The leading international prize was the only major honour missing from his legendary CV, meaning he can now bow out from football having won it all.
Laporta will be disappointed to hear of his PSG renewal, having opened the door for the Barca icon to come back for a second stint in Catalonia.
