These are strange times in Lionel Messi's relationship with Paris Saint-Germain. The Argentine does not finish fixing his future with the most powerful club in France and also, the team is not going through its best moment in terms of results. There is no agreement between the PSG board and Lionel Messi's entourage, which is why there is uncertainty about the future of the top winner of the Ballon d'Or (7). It was recently revealed that the Parisian team seeks to reduce its salary mass and they would not reach Leo's economic request after winning the World Cup in Qatar, being the maximum figure of the Argentine team.

'Times Sport' revealed that PSG wants to reach an agreement with UEFA and reduce the cost of squad salaries by up to 30%. In this way, the Parisians would be willing to dissolve the offensive trident made up of Leo, Kylian Mbappé and Neymar. The future of the Brazilian seems settled. Although he wants to stay to fulfill his contract until 2027, Chelsea is closely following his steps and would be his next destination.

For its part, PSG has always shown its desire to have Lionel Messi at least until 2024. However, the economic factor would lead to the final departure of the world champion. According to the international portal, Lionel Messi wants to earn 35 million euros free without taxes and the board could not ensure compliance with said salary. Thus, speculation about the situation of the 'Flea' in Europe opens again.

This information is complemented by exclusive information from 'RMC Sport', a French media outlet specializing in sports and with information close to Paris Saint-Germain. The information from the aforementioned medium was clear and revealing, the PSG board would be tired of the trident of Kylian Mbappe, Neymar Jr and Lionel Messi.

Where could Lionel Messi's future be if he doesn't continue at PSG?

If he does not specify his continuity at PSG, FC Barcelona does not have the conditions to pay the salary of the best player in history either. Leo wants to continue in Europe, since he wants to arrive in the best conditions for the 2024 Copa América, and from England they could set their sights on him. On British soil they have the money to add Messi. Lionel Messi, to no one's surprise, is wanted by many clubs around the world, and not just in Europe. The Argentine is wanted by David Beckham's Inter Miami of Major League Soccer, who according to "Diario Marca" would pay the Argentine 14 million dollars per year. Another team interested in Lionel Messi is Al-Hilal from Saudi Arabia. The rivals of Cristiano Ronaldo's Al Nassr would have offered Messi up to 300 million dollars, according to 'Sport'
