For Messi, this season has been almost the most important season of his career. In this season, he won the World Cup and became one of the best players in the history of world football. Compared with any of his predecessors, Messi's achievements have not fallen behind, and the 35-year-old Messi is still galloping on the green field, and he may still get more honors before he retires. At club level, though, his position at Paris Saint-Germain this season has been somewhat delicate. With the contract about to expire, the renewal negotiations between the two parties are still not progressing.
Impeccable Messi
Compared to last season, Messi's biggest improvement this season is his significant improvement in attendance. So far this season, he has made 28 appearances in all competitions for the team, contributing 17 goals and 14 assists, directly involved in 31 goals, and averaging more than eight points per game. Of all the players in Ligue 1 and Europe's five major leagues, Messi is also the only player who can maintain an average of more than 8 points per game in all competitions. Specifically, Messi is still extremely efficient in attack, averaging 2.9 successful passes per game, 1.5 fouls on opponents, 2.5 key passes for teammates, and 17 excellent scoring opportunities for teammates in Ligue 1 this season. Compared with Neymar, who is not self-disciplined enough, and Kylian Mbappe, who is sometimes too self-conscious, Messi is indeed the one who makes the team feel the most worry-free.
Campos "showing a fox's tail"
In fact, since the beginning of this season, about the renewal of Messi's contract, Paris Saint-Germain has been on the agenda. However, although they have been claiming that they are moving forward with negotiations, they have not made substantial progress. This casts doubt on the sincerity of their negotiations. It is reported that from the level of Messi, he tends to remain at Paris Saint-Germain, after all, in the final stage of his career, he also wants a more stable and continuous environment. However, some recent news in the French media seems to show the true attitude of Paris Saint-Germain.
These media frequently said that the team's contract extension negotiations with Messi were not completed because Messi's requirements for salary packages were too high. This is almost the same as Laporta's routine before Messi left Barca. At this point, Campos has shown a fox's tail, and he has no intention of renewing his contract with Messi, just hoping to transfer the pressure from the outside world to Messi. According to the British media, from the current situation, Messi has seen through the conspiracy of Paris Saint-Germain, and he will not fall into the trap of the other side. As soon as after the end of this round of the Champions League, Messi will announce that he will abandon the decision to renew his contract with the team.
The two giants rubbed each other
With Messi's departure almost a foregone conclusion, where he will be next has naturally attracted close attention from the outside world. It is reported that the two giants have opened a battle against Messi, namely Manchester City and Barca. When it comes to Manchester City, Guardiola is Messi's biggest fan, and in recent times, Guardiola has spoken frequently about Messi, making no secret of his admiration for the former lover. To the outside world, if he can return to Guardiola's leadership, Messi will be given a more relaxed environment to spend the final seasons of his career. On the Barca side, from the past period, the relationship between Messi and Barca seems to be rapidly détente, and Laporta has even proposed to Messi's side that a tribute ceremony will be held for him. Regardless of the factors of Barca's management, for many fans of Messi, if he can return to his roots and return to Camp Nou again, it will be a very happy ending.
Famous marshals send "closed doors"
In addition, in Paris Saint-Germain, unless the team wins this season's Champions League, Galti's sweeping out after the end of the season will almost be a foregone conclusion. According to previous news, Paris Saint-Germain wants to bring Tuchel back into the team again, but according to French media RMC, the German coach refuses to eat back grass, and he has basically refused Paris Saint-Germain's coaching offer.
