Lionel Messi's future in Europe remains uncertain. With his departure for Saudi Arabia or MLS ruled out, it only remains to define whether he will return to FC Barcelona or extend his link with PSG until 2024. In this context and after the pressure exerted by Kylian Mbappé so that the 'Flea' does not move from France , the offer that the Parisian team would give as a last attempt to convince the top winner of the Ballon d'Or (7) came to light.

'Mundo Deportivo' newspaper revealed that Mbappé plays an important role in trying to convince Lionel Messi to stay in Ligue 1 until next season. 'Donatello' wants to win the next Champions League and understands that the presence of the captain of the Argentine team would increase the chances of the French national team and the team led up to now by Christophe Galtier.

One of the reasons why the negotiations between PSG and Lionel Messi's entourage cooled down was that there was no financial improvement to what Rosario currently earns. However, under pressure from 'Donatello', the club could raise the salary of the 'Flea' as long as he continues to accompany the French striker in the attack.

The money that PSG would put for Lionel Messi to continue in France:

L'Équipe revealed a few weeks ago that Lionel Messi's entourage wanted an economic improvement of five million euros, so that Leo could earn 35 million per season. The directive did not give in to the request and that is why the renewal was not signed. Now, with Mbappé as the protagonist of the negotiation, PSG would put said figure so that the former FC Barcelona striker continues in the French capital.
