Romero revealed in a live broadcast that Messi currently has no intention of renewing his contract with Paris, and the World Cup has changed his mind.
Romero said in the live broadcast: “For now, Messi is closer to not renewing his contract with Paris. Winning the World Cup made him change his mind. But this does not mean that his next stop is to return to Barcelona.”
During the World Cup, Messi was close to reaching a contract renewal with Paris. At that time, the media said that Messi hoped to lead Paris to the Champions League.
But after winning the World Cup, because the opponent he defeated was France, where Paris is located, Messi’s situation became a bit embarrassing, and he received a lot of boos in the away game. This may be one of the reasons why Romero said “winning the World Cup changed his mind”.
Messi’s contract with PSG will expire at the end of the season.
🚨🚨| Reasons why Leo Messi does not want to renew his contract with PSG:
• Bad relationship with their fans.
• Protection of Mbappé.
• He does not want any noise.@sagonzalezbueno
