Lionel Messi: Where will you play next season?

This Wednesday, Barcelona and Lionel Messi received a new blow to the chin: the elimination at the hands of PSG in the knockout stages of the Champions League. Although the image that the Catalan team gave against the Parisians was good, in which they didn't achieve the triumph due to the great performance of Keylor Navas and due to shots that they gave in the sticks, the future of La Pulga in the club is not guaranteed and Again the question arises: where will he play next season?

Even though Joan Laporta won the elections for president in Barcelona last Sunday, this doesn't guarantee that Lionel Messi will be after June wearing the Catalans' jersey 10. It's that although he attended to vote for the first time in his history, in a gesture that he loves the institution and wants to retire there, the lack of international competitiveness in recent years has made him want to "change the air" in the face of the near future. It's that not even the possible hiring of Sergio Agüero, his great friend and teammate of the Argentine National Team, would guarantee that he stays in Catalonia.

Messi has not yet renewed his contract that expires in June. In the next few days he will meet with Laporta and they will not only talk about extending their bond, but also the players to bring and the positions to strengthen. And why not also about the continuity of Ronald Koeman as coach, whom he looked askance at his arrival and it seems that in the last time the relationship has improved and could continue after this season.

Proposals to change clubs are not lacking. Manchester City, which came very close to signing him a year ago, is the number one candidate to acquire him. Meeting Pep Guardiola, the coach with whom he won the sextet and everything he played, is a great weapon of seduction. As can Agüero, who has a chance to stay in the Citizens.

Also PSG, his shame on Wednesday, wants it. Playing with Neymar again and being the protagonist of Europe is something that could motivate him, but being in a smaller league would not favor him. And let's not forget David Beckahm and his dream of signing him for Inter Miami alongside Cristiano Ronaldo. To wait for days of much information and definition to come ...
