Lionel Messi to PSG? The imposing offer that makes Neymar jealous

Lionel Messi is very near to define his future. The Argentine legend tried to leave FC Barcelona during the last transfer window, but wasn’t able to do so as ex-president Josep María Bartomeu denied him the chance. But after his departure, and with his contract expiring on June 2021, there are concrete chances for him moving on.

Barça has been the house of the idol since very young but the lack of a competitive sport project and the intentions to live in other parts of the world, make help him to leave. Messi joined La Masía when he was just 13 years old, after leaving Newell’s Old Boys at Rosario, and after 20 years he is seriously thinking on departing.

The clearest chance arising for him is the one of Paris Saint-Germain. The French side is one of the few clubs all over the world that may pay a salary as the one that the attacker pretends. Fox Sports reported that Mauricio Pochettino accepted to be the new coach of PSG with the condition that he received a blank check to offer Messi to win as much as he wants.

Such a movement have put Neymar jealous. The Brazilian left Barcelona on 2017 to escape from the shadow of Messi, as the Argentine gained all the merits. Three years later, they may be reunited and Ney doesn’t want to be the second-best paid player on the club. Until now, he gains $3 million per month, and it is said that Messi could be winning up to $5 million per month on PSG.
