Lionel Messi’s future at Paris Saint-Germain has taken another twist ahead of their Ligue 1 clash with Lyon.
Messi could end his time at the Parc des Princes this summer, with his current contract expiring at the end of June, and no update on an extension.
PSG have an option to offer Messi an additional 12 months at the club, as per their original deal with the Argentina international, but the 35-year-old is open to moving on.
Barcelona club vice president Rafa Yuste has admitted the club are working on bringing the 35-year-old back to Catalonia and PSG fans have voiced their frustration over the uncertainty.
