Lionel Messi in the sights of the Premier League: PSG responds to the interest from England

Lionel Messi’s contract with PSG expires in June 2023. Months after the end of the agreement between the Argentine and the club, there are already stories related to the forward’s future. From a return to Barcelona, ​​staying in the French capital and even the possibility of trying his luck in the Premier League.

Regarding the latter, the newspaper Marca pointed out that there are two teams in England that are attentive to how the situation of the Albiceleste captain develops. At the moment, Manchester City and Chelsea have not made serious moves for the South American, but they are in a position to offer an interesting proposal from the economic and sporting points of view.

Is Manchester City the best option for Messi?

According to the indicated source, the light blue team would have great options with the current number 30 of Paris Saint Germain due to the presence of Pep Guardiola in the technical direction. The Spanish coach and the gunner shared in Barcelona (2008 to 2012) and, thanks to him, he obtained unbeatable numbers individually and collectively.

Before leaning towards ‘Les Parisiens’, City had been one of Messi’s options. So, after a few years of waiting, the Manchester cast will try to get the services of Lionel. In fact, the board of directors of the English entity want to take advantage of the opportunity to incorporate him as a free agent.

Chelsea enters the ‘fight’ for Messi

The new owners of Chelsea, since they arrived in place of the Russian Roman Abramovich, are looking for a star who makes a difference in the squad in all aspects. In fact, those from London tried to sign Cristiano Ronaldo in the last transfer market, but the coach at the time, Thomas Tuchel, refused.

Without the German on the bench of the ‘Blues’ (now Graham Potter is the DT), it seems easier to sign a star and, in this case, the chosen one is Leo Messi. Like City, he seduces the idea that the Argentine ends his contract with PSG and there is the possibility of reaching an agreement from January of next year.

PSG responds for Messi

In France they report that the Parisian board began work to convince the South American to stay longer at the club. At this point there are no signs that Leo wants to continue with ‘Les Blues’. In any case, there will be a clearer picture after the development of the World Cup.
