PSG is back again on the winning track, a few days before facing Bayern Munich.

One more weekend, one more Ligue 1 game and therefore, a new exhibition by Lionel Messi and Kylian Mbappe. Despite this, now in Paris there is a new dilemma, the renewal of Lionel Messi, which seems to be stagnating more and more. In addition to this problem, the reality is that the Paris team is under great pressure to come back against the German giants

Lionel Messi was once again decisive in PSG's victory against Nantes, within the framework of Ligue 1. The top winner of the Ballon d'Or (7) scored his third consecutive goal so far in the French tournament and will arrive in the best conditions to the match against Bayern Munich, for the round of 16 of the Champions League.

The captain of the Argentine team returned to the best football version of him in the team led by Christophe Galtier. After constant criticism from the fans, who questioned him for supposedly just walking on the pitch, since the match against Lille he has shown why he is the best player in history and against Nantes he was no exception.

Despite the fact that he reached 20 goals this season, the Parisian ultras made a surprise request to the '10' of the Albiceleste. The most radical fans of the French team insisted on social networks that he not renew for one more season. Although together with Kylian Mbappé they are the best that PSG has presented in the 2022-2023 campaign, supporters do not want him to continue for another year. For its part, the board of directors will meet with the 'Flea' environment after the Champions League key to try to reach an agreement.

What is missing to confirm Lionel Messi's continuity until 2024 at PSG?

According to L'Équipe, there is an economic difference that prevents reaching an agreement. PSG presented the only formal offer for the future of Leo, who after winning the World Cup in Qatar would have asked for an increase of five million euros. That is to say, as indicated by the French sports newspaper, Messi would receive 35 million net per season.
