Messi and PSG have reportedly reached an agreement on a new deal for at least one more season. The deal will keep him at Parc des Princes until the summer of 2024, according to Les Parisians.
Messi joined PSG last year on a Bosman deal after Barça were unable to hand him a new contract due to the club’s financial issues.
After having found it hard initially in France, the 35-year-old has been in sublime form this season.
Having recently led Argentina to their first World Cup triumph since 1986, the all-time great was expected to shift his focus on the matter of his future. However, if the aforementioned report is to be believed, that may have already been taken care of.
Will Messi Stay At PSG?
Messi’s current contract with PSG expires at the end of the season.
It has given way to speculations about a comeback to Barcelona while MLS club Inter Miami are also said to be keen on securing his services.
Les Parisiens, though, have always maintained that they wanted to keep hold of Messi at least for another year.
The report indicates that the Ligue 1 champions have been in constant talks with Jorge Messi about the renewal for close to three months now.

And, it further claims that in early December, when Messi was still at the World Cup, an agreement in principle was reached between all parties to keep the Argentina captain at the club until 2024.
Messi still desires to continue at the highest level following his World Cup triumph and PSG can offer him the best chance to win the Champions League given that he is part of an elite attacking unit comprising Neymar and Lionel Messi, adds the report.
It is also mentioned that the seven-time Ballon d’Or winner’s family is also happy and settled in Paris. So, it was not a difficult decision for the Argentine to agree to continue at the club for one more year.
