Since the announcement of the departure of Lionel Messi, at the end of his contract, from FC Barcelona, Paris Saint-Germain is working very seriously to recruit the striker. And this Friday, the Argentine international gave his agreement to join the vice-champion of France!
Indeed, according to many colleagues of the French press, Lionel Messi has said yes to Paris Saint-Germain and negotiations could still accelerate this weekend. The journalist Julien Froment who states that “everything indicates that Messi will engage with the PSG even if “an agreement has been found on the contours of the contract” and that “legal details to be settled.”
At the same time, PSG must still find solutions to finance this operation. Still according to L’Equipe, Paris does not intend to sell Kylian Mbappé, whose contract extension, which expires in June 2022, remains a priority. In order to free up cash and respect the losses announced to the DNCG, Paris, well helped by the relaxation of the financial fair play of UEFA, wants to be inventive and counts on “exceptional resources” released by the signing of Messi to bail out its coffers. Internally, Paris is working hard to achieve this big move with a meeting scheduled with the representatives of the star on Sunday.
