Messi’s link with Barcelona ends at the end of this season, and the player can enter into official negotiations starting next January with any club that wants to join him.
The relationship between Messi and his club soured last summer after a weeks-long crisis, when the 33-year-old asked to leave but the club’s management refused and adhered to the € 700 million penalty clause.
Paris Saint-Germain has long been a likely destination for Messi, as he is among the few European clubs that can pay the highest paid player in the world.
Messi already has many friends in Paris Saint-Germain, among which Neymar stands out, who moved from Barcelona to the French capital in the summer of 2017 for 222 million euros, in the most important operation in the history of football.
The elections scheduled in Barcelona on January 24 are believed to play an important role in determining Messi’s fate at the Catalan club, following the recent lull in the crisis due to the resignation of José María Bartomeu from his position as club president.
All Barcelona leadership candidates say Messi is in their future plans and refuse to lose the player who won the Ballon d’Or six times.

According to French press reports, Mauricio Pochettino, the Argentine favorite to succeed Tuchel, may help the club to include his compatriot Lionel Messi next summer.
On Thursday, French and German media said Tochel has already left Paris Saint-Germain, and that Pochettino, the former Tottenham Hotspur manager, appears the closest to succeeding him.
According to the French newspaper “Le Parisien”, Messi will be able to accompany Pochettino to the “Stadium of the Princes” next season, where the two have a good relationship.
