Argentine striker of the French football club Paris Saint-Germain, one of the best players in history, Lionel Messi does not want to renew his contract with the team. This is reported in social networks by journalist Mikel Blazquez.
Earlier it was reported that Messi wants to return to Barcelona, where he played his entire playing career until the summer of 2021, when he had to move to PSG. So, the Argentine is ready to go to the Catalan team. However, at the same time, he wants Barcelona to fulfill one of his conditions – to remove defender Gerard Pique from the club.
Lionel Messi and Pique are reportedly not having a relationship lately. In the last season of the Argentine at Barcelona, they did not even communicate with each other.
Messi is a graduate of Barcelona, for which he made his debut in 2004. Together with the team, he won 35 trophies. Also, speaking as part of the Catalans, the striker won six of his seven “Golden Balls” – a prize that is awarded to the best player at the end of the year.
In the 2022/23 season, Lionel Messi appeared in all eight of PSG’s league games, scoring four goals and providing seven assists.
Earlier, in August, it was reported that Messi was not nominated for the Ballon d’Or for the first time since 2005.
