June 30's getting closer and closer and with it, the end of Lionel Messi's contract in Barcelona. The elimination against PSG in the knockout stages of the Champions League only deepened the internal crisis that the Argentine is experiencing in the Catalan club and the rumors of withdrawal are getting bigger. In that sense, there're four reasons why he could leave the Spanish entity to move to his shame last Wednesday.

The first reason is simply because he is free. Without this condition, the operation would be absolutely unfeasible, even for a multimillionaire club like Paris Saint Germain. The economic crisis that unleashed the coronavirus pandemic around the world also disrupted the finances of the most powerful.

The second point, according to what L'Equipe publishes, is because Neymar wants to play with him. Since the Brazilian star left Barcelona in 2017, they both want to share a field again. Lío forced the return of Ney to the Catalan club on several occasions, but it didn't happen. Now the paulista does the same and, in addition, the only chance that they will play together again is with Messi in Paris, because PSG has decided that Neymar does not leave. In addition, L'Equipe cites that the presence of Mauricio Pochettino, Ángel Di María and Leandro Paredes in the team would make life much easier for La Pulga in Paris.

It's third is because there were already several previous contacts. In the pass market at the beginning of the season, in the midst of Rosario's dispute with the Catalan club's board, which included sending the famous burofax, Leonardo, PSG sports director, maintained contacts with the Pulga environment, probing its possible signing.

To finish, the fourth's because the continuity of Mbappé isn't easy. Kylian Mbappé, the other PSG franchise player in addition to Neymar, has a contract until June 2022 but his renewal has been blocked for some time. Many even put him close to Real Madrid, who have wanted the world champion with France for years.
