LIONEL MESSI and Cristiano Ronaldo will be at Paris Saint-Germain with Pep Guardiola as coach next year, according to Fabrice Pancrate.
Barcelona star Messi, 33, shocked the football world by announcing that he wanted to leave the team earlier this week.

Since then, the Argentine has been linked to moves to Man City, to form a team with Guardiola, and Juventus, to be a partner of Ronaldo.
Guardiola was even spotted in Barcelona amid rumors that Etihad’s team was close to sealing a deal worth £ 1.4 million a week.
But the former PSG and Newcastle Pancrate star, who played for the club from 2004-2009, believes they will all end up in Paris.
Pancrate told Le Parisien: “I’ll tell you what I think … Manchester is ugly, it’s gray, it’s raining.
“There are many things that make me say that Messi is going to Paris.
“And Ronaldo will join him in 2021. And Guardiola too.”

Pancrate added: “I think Guardiola and Messi have spoken to each other before.
“Guardiola must have told him: ‘We are going to mix things up. I love you in Manchester, but go to Paris and don’t worry, next year I’ll meet you.’
“I see it that way. And there, the motto of PSG – ‘let’s dream big’ – makes a lot of sense!
“It would be the first team in the world to bring together four superstars: Ronaldo, Messi, Neymar, [Kylian] Mbappe.
“[And all] with a crazy coach. “

Despite Ronaldo and Messi embarking on the final years of their careers, Pancrate doesn’t think that’s a problem in France.
He added: “Although people say that Messi is already 33 years old and that Ronaldo is turning 36, stars of his caliber don’t need to run.
“It’s the ball that moves … they will always make a technical difference.
“If you take it [Gianluigi] Buffon or David Beckham at 37, with a marketing side that nobody hides, it makes perfect sense to take a Ronaldo.
“[He] he is still very competitive, very professional, not afraid of anything.
“Paris has a lot to gain. It is too early to [Ronaldo] to get out of the European scene. You need increasing challenges.
“Who can offer him that after Juve? Can you imagine this dream team?”
