After the World Cup, PSG will talk about Messi’s contract.
Lionel Messi is content at the Ligue 1 winners, according to Paris St. Germain President Nasser Al-Khelaifi, and they will begin talking about a potential contract extension after the World Cup.
Messi transferred from Barcelona to PSG in 2021 on a two-year contract that expires in the summer. Messi has 12 goals and 14 assists for PSG in all competitions this season.
Al-Khelaifi responded, “absolutely,” when asked by Sky Sports if the 35-year-old is interested in extending his stay in Paris.
“He performed fantastic this season for us, he’s scored a lot of goals and assists for the national team and for the club,” he added.
“So what we agreed together – that after the World Cup, sit down together. But both sides – our side of the club and him – are very happy, so we will talk after the World Cup.”
Marcus Rashford of Manchester United, who was previously linked to a move to PSG during the offseason, is another player whose contract expires this summer.
Al-Khelaifi said “every club” would be interested in signing the England international on a free transfer and that PSG had spoken to him previously.
“But the moment was not a good moment for both sides,” he said.
“Today if he’s a free agent of course we can talk to him directly but we are not going to talk to him now. Let him focus on the World Cup. Then after in January, hopefully, if we’re interested we will talk to him.”
