While Barcelona tries to sign Messi again, the salary that Lionel asks PSG to renew

The future of Lionel Messi is uncertain, there is talk that the Argentine could return to FC Barcelona, go to Inter Miami in the United States or renew his contract with Paris Saint-Germain, who are going through a delicate moment in the season and everything is played against Bayern Munich this March 8 in the UEFA Champions League.

All in all, Lionel Messi is still not clear about his future. Negotiations with PSG are at a standstill and it is expected that there will be a new conversation between the Parisian board and the entourage of the top winner of the Ballon d'Or (7) after the key to the round of 16 of the Champions League against Bayern Munich. Now, the money that the Messi would claim to extend their bond for one more season is uncovered.

'Le Parisien' revealed how the current situation is between PSG and the best player in history. In recent days there has been speculation about the future of Leo, who has not yet signed with the Parisians, which is why FC Barcelona is excited about his possible return. However, as the journalist Gastón Edul pointed out, the only formal offer that the 'Flea' has is that of the current Ligue 1 champion.

Now, 'Le Parisien' pointed out that a hypothetical elimination from the Champions League would not change Leo's position on his continuity at PSG and the negotiations would be engaged in resolving the economic issue. Messi, according to the French press, is asking for a salary increase after having shone at the World Cup in Qatar, where he scored seven goals, gave three assists and was voted the best player of the tournament.

Some time ago, the newspaper 'Marca' indicated that Lionel Messi has an annual salary of 30 million euros net. However, now an increase of eight million would be negotiated. In other words, according to the French portal, the captain of the Argentine team wants to go on to earn 38 million for one more season. The star is far from the 72 million that Kylian Mbappé receives.

Barcelona suffers without Lionel Messi:

It is no secret that one of the most affected by the departure of Lionel Messi from FC Barcelona a couple of years ago, was FC Barcelona themselves, because, without Messi for the last two years, the Spanish club has not managed to qualify in the group stage of the UEFA Champions League and as if that were not enough, they have lost twice in a row in the UEFA Europa League, once against Eintracht Frankfurt, and most recently, against Manchester United. Now, Barcelona want Messi to save them from the rough time they are going trough in European competitions.
