Lionel Messi and PSG are settling on new contract

• Campos says he would be “delighted” if Lionel Messi agreed to extend his contract.
• Messi signed a two-year contract with PSG in 2021, with the option of an extension.
• Campos praised Messi’s recent contributions to the team.

Lionel Messi‘s contract extension with the French champions would make Paris Saint-football Germain’s advisor, Luis Campos, “delighted.”

The seven-time Ballon d’Or winner, 35, accomplished his lifelong goal of winning the World Cup in December, but he has continued to play well since returning to France.

He struck his 10th Ligue 1 goal of the year on Saturday, helping PSG come from behind to defeat Toulouse 2-1 despite playing without Kylian Mbappe and Neymar due to injury. He scored a crucial goal in the 3-1 victory over Montpellier.

Messi signed a two-year contract with PSG in 2021, with the option of extending it for another year, after bidding farewell to Barcelona, where he had spent his entire professional career.

“We’re talking about it. I can’t hide it; I’d want to have him involved in this initiative so he can stay with us “Campos said French television station TF1.

“I would be pleased if he did, but we are currently discussing how to achieve that aim, that Leo Messi remains with us.”

Campos praised Messi’s recent contributions to the team, particularly his performance against Montpellier.

“At half-time I suggested to him ‘Leo it is vital you drag the others with you’. He said, ‘Keep calm,’ and he produced an outstanding second half.”

Messi’s form is just what PSG needs, as Mbappe’s injury will keep him out of their Champions League Last 16 first leg against Bayern Munich on February 14.

“Of course, losing Kylian is difficult; I saw him upset about the injury,” Campos added.

“However, then I subsequently observed him working out in the morning so as to recuperate as fast as possible.

“That is the personality of a winner, of someone exceptional. He is already the world’s top striker.”
