Messi has 3 options before Barcelona.. and all of them are in Europe

The future of Lionel Messi will be decided in the coming weeks. The Argentine star is immersed in the World Cup in Qatar in 2022, but when he returns to Paris, it will be up to him to decide what destination he will take from 2023. He has several options on the table, three of which are in Europe.

The Argentine striker signed a two-year contract with the option of another year with Paris Saint-Germain. It is known that Nasser Al-Khulaifi will do his best to keep him.

In France they indicated that the rich club is preparing a great offer for him to continue for another year. They want him to follow in the footsteps of Kylian Mbappe and decide to stay in the Princes’ Park. They will make him an offer next January 1, when the striker will be a free agent and will be able to negotiate with the club he wants.

Leo Messi has three future options in Europe

But PSG is not the only option. Messi also has the option to return to FC Barcelona. Juan Laporta has already spoken on several occasions about the matter, confirming that the Catalan club’s management dreams of his return.

And not just Laporta. Xavi Hernandez has also just sent a nod to the Argentine star. He did it from Qatar, where he is currently watching the World Cup and participating in some propaganda activities.

In an interview related to Adidas, Xavi admitted that he would like Messi to return to be able to coach him. And he pointed out, “If Messi wants, he can definitely return to Barcelona at some point. Who wouldn’t want to train him?” The Barcelona coach added: “He is still in first place. Cristiano Ronaldo is still among the top 3-5 players on the planet as well.”

But there are two other options for Messi in Europe, which, like Paris Saint-Germain, seem more feasible than Barcelona today. The first is Manchester City. Pep Guardiola will be happy to receive him in his team and form the duo Messi Haaland.

In addition, economic strength will not be an issue as in Barcelona. The second is Manchester United, who have not had much luck with the return of Cristiano Ronaldo and want a new player.

It is no longer only the last option in the Old Continent. There is a fourth option is Inter Miami, which is owned by David Beckham. It is the fate that many sources have indicated in recent weeks, and it is the most important fate at the moment. It won’t be long before we know Messi’s final decision.
