Lionel Messi showed his dominance in Ligue 1 by providing a stunning assist to Kylian Mbappé in PSG’s away win against Brest. However, PSG’s board has reportedly decided not to renew the contract of the Argentine captain after their Champions League elimination.
A photo of Messi’s wife, Antonela Roccuzzo, may have confirmed his next destination. If the situation is confirmed, Messi will have to find a new club in Europe as his desire is to continue playing for another year in the Old Continent and arrive in the best conditions for the 2024 Copa America that will take place in the United States.
Amid rumors about Lionel Messi’s future, Antonela Roccuzzo was seen attending an event where she took a photo with Anna Lewandowski, the wife of current FC Barcelona striker, Robert Lewandowski. Fans of Barcelona interpreted the photo as a sign that Messi might return to the Blaugrana team. However, Messi has recently expressed his happiness in Paris, and the Messi-Roccuzzo family still owns property in Catalonia, where most of his friends are.
FC Barcelona, lacking in funds, relies on emotional connection with Lionel Messi.
According to Fernando Polo, a contributor to the ‘Mundo Deportivo’ portal, Joan Laporta, the president of FC Barcelona, intends to leverage Lionel Messi’s love for the club and is willing to sacrifice a significant amount of money to make the fans’ dream come true of confirming his return after two years.
