Lionel Messi, the Argentine footballer and current captain of Paris Saint-Germain (PSG), is currently in talks with his club regarding the renewal of his contract. The negotiations have resumed after a brief pause due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
According to reports, PSG has offered Messi a world-record annual salary of €45 million ($48 million) for the next three seasons. This offer represents a significant increase from the €22 million he was reportedly earning before the pandemic hit. The club hopes that this offer will convince Messi to extend his stay at PSG.
Messi, who joined PSG in 2017, has already made a huge impact on the team and has won numerous titles since then. He has scored over 300 goals in his time at the club and is widely regarded as one of the greatest players of all time.
The news of Messi's potential contract extension comes at a critical moment for PSG, which is currently facing financial difficulties. The club has been struggling to find ways to balance its budget and pay off its debts. However, with the arrival of new owners in December last year, there is hope that things will improve.
Despite the ongoing discussions, it remains to be seen whether Messi will agree to the terms offered by PSG. In any case, the news of Messi's renewed contract is sure to generate excitement among fans and football enthusiasts alike.
