Eighteen months after the signing of Lionel Messi in the capital, the Rouge et Bleu still owe money to the entourage of the sevenfold Ballon d’Or.
Lionel Messi’s future still looks uncertain. Earlier this week, the Spanish journalist caused a sensation by announcing that the seven-time Ballon d’Or no longer intended to extend with the capital club. The coronation of Argentina in Qatar would indeed have made him change his mind. Since then, most connoisseurs of the case agree that the trend is still clearly towards an extension of the brand new world champion with the Rouge et Bleu.
To believe The team, the club of the capital still has a hand in this file. The native of Rosario likes Paris, both on and off the field, and no other European cador seems able to match the XXL salary he enjoys in Paris. Barça, who dream of bringing him back, clearly do not have the means to compete, and for the time being, the Argentinian is not very interested in exotic destinations such as MLS and Saudi Arabia despite the proposed fortunes.
PSG nevertheless have some reason to be worried. The fault in particular with the financial limits with which the Parisian club must compose following the fine of 65 M€ imposed by UEFA and especially with the monstrous salary offered to Kylian Mbappé. Offering the same salary to Lionel Messi augurs a serious headache. Above all, PSG also has debts to settle with the Messi clan. According to L’Equipe, the French champions still owe money to the player’s entourage, with some commissions still not having been paid. What necessarily somewhat annoy those close to the player.
