Messi To Extend PSG Stay Till 2024
Lionel Messi has reached an agreement in principle to renew his Paris St-Germain contract, according to Guillem Balague.
Messi’s current PSG deal is set to expire next summer, which has recently led to talk of a potential return to Barcelona.
Barca President Joan Laporta has publicly expressed his willingness to bring Argentina’s World Cup-winning captain back to the Nou Camp, but it is believed Messi is instead set to remain in Paris for another year.

He is understood to have agreed a renewal which also includes the option of a further year should he wish to stay at PSG until 2025.
Balague told BBC Sport: ‘It is practically all agreed with PSG. Barcelona have not approached him or his dad to offer anything.
‘So it is not that Messi does not want to return to Barcelona. He has not been asked the question.
‘Messi is happy with it all and when back from his holidays the agreement will speed up.
‘His life in Paris is balanced, happy, everybody is enjoying it and he has a real possibility of winning the Champions League again. Plus, it will help him be a candidate again for the Ballon d’Or.’
