PSG are expected to start the talks with Lionel Messi for extending his contract after the end of the World Cup.
I assume it wouldn't be any longer than a one-year extension. Because I don't think that Messi would make long-term decisions at this age. He would like to just see how things go and act according to it. He has played really good for PSG until this moment. He has improved his performance level even more by this season. It is good to see him adapting to a completely different team as well because people were highly criticizing him for not having played for any team other than Barcelona before. Now as PSG aim to win the Champions League title they don't want to lose Messi until achieving that at least.
Yes, they have begun to value Messi much more, because a long time ago they said that Messi had an open letter to leave whenever he wanted, obviously the sheikh wants to have a cup in his UCL team, he knows that with the main trident like Ney, Mabppé and Messi can guarantee it, but it is something that he himself does not know if it will work for him. They have a very strong test against Bayern, if Bayern manages to get a good striker and a good midfielder, they can make life impossible for PSG, let's remember how bad PSG had last season, due to carelessness they left, The same thing happened to Bayern, for me Bayern's worst mistake was letting Lewa go.
I still can't believe that he is not moving to Al-Nassr, those guys offered him 500 million euro for 2.5 years, that is 200 million a year, how could anyone reject that? I get that he likes his freedom and being in Al-Nassr would mean that he would have to follow their culture or it would be a big trouble for him, all of which means even his family would be pressured into living the way they live unless they want risk, so that type of thing is a scary thing or could be at least and I understand that.
However, we are talking about FIVE HUNDRED MILLION EUROS! that is good enough to literally do whatever you are told to do, just way too much money to reject.
I saw that Cristiano Ronaldo did not care about money, rejecting this offer. While it was almost impossible for a football player to earn that money, it was unthinkable for Cristiano, who did not accept the best deal of his career even at the end of his career. No football player could easily refuse this. An incredible offer. 500 Million Euros. I can't even imagine the size of the money. For a moment I thought I wished he had accepted.
I think that CR7 is looking for other things, money is not his priority, because he already has enough to live a full life for himself and his family, what CR7 is looking for is recognition, he is a value For his country, I dare to say that he is a hero and that lately he has been kicked around a lot by everyone, the press, technical directors and players who are barely on the rise and dared to tarnish it when they don't even have the level to do so, I mean their own teammates, so here the lesson of CR7 was that very few are loyal to him, no matter how good you do, here if you make a mistake it is what they will remember, his greatest loss and I think his descent was when he lost his daughter, and that knocked him down, it's normal, he's a human, and I think many showed that they don't have humanity.
Personally, I hope that CR7 manages to reduce his pain to a minimum and returns to his performance and improves much more.
And silence is a part of it:
SILENCE Cristiano Ronaldo remains silent on social media as rival Lionel Messi leads Argentina to World Cup triumph over FranceFans and football legends have been quick to praise Messi and Argentina, with three-time World Cup winner Pele lauding the Paris Saint-Germain forward, along with fellow Brazilian Neymar.
Even boxing star Canelo Alvarez congratulated Argentina for their triumph, despite feuding with Messi earlier in the tournament.
Piers Morgan was also forced to eat humble pie after predicting a France win, with Messi to be left in tears at the end of the match.
But instead of tears of sadness, there were tears of joy as Messi spearheaded Argentina to their first World Cup since 1986,
