Lionel Messi's surprising request to his father that angers the PSG ultras

Lionel Messi is in no rush to settle his future in Europe. While PSG presses to renew his contract for one more season and from FC Barcelona they aspire to have him back, an alleged request from the top winner of the Ballon d'Or (7) to his father and representative, Jorge Messi, comes to light. The situation will anger the Parisian ultras, who do not have a good relationship with the captain of the Argentine team.

Radio Catalunya announced that the '10' of the Albiceleste asked his father to meet with Joan Laporta, with the intention of seeing if there are real options to return after two years at PSG. In addition, the Catalan media explained that Messi has constant communication with Xavi Hernández, coach of the Catalans, who recently maintained that the Rosario has the doors open for when he decides to return.

Despite the fact that he has a tense relationship with the ultras, from Paris they would be furious with Lionel Messi's attitude, since he still has a valid contract with the Ligue 1 champion until June 2023. Currently, the team led by Christophe Galtier is at stake win at least one tournament this season and the board of directors would have the priority of convincing the Argentine national team not to leave the French capital for another year.

How much would Lionel Messi earn if he returns to FC Barcelona?

One of the great obstacles that the Blaugrana team has to achieve the return of Lionel Messi is the economic aspect. However, Laporta expects Messi to give up a large part of his salary. In this context, the portal 'The Athletic' revealed that the world champion had already reached an agreement with the Catalans before leaving in 2021, to go on to win 10 million euros. Based on this figure, one could think about the offer extended by the Catalan team.
