Reports came flooding in from Catalan radio; Lionel Messi’s father slash agent, Jorge Messi, had sat down with the president of FC Barcelona, Joan Laporta.
But did he really?
One of the most well-connected Argentine journalists didn’t seem to think so. Gastón Edul stated that Messi was only negotiating with one club: Paris Saint-Germain. For a while now, the reports in Argentina have said that the most likely thing is that the FIFA World Cup winner will renew his deal and stay in Paris.
PSG are reportedly keen on extending the contract, which expires at the end of this season.
