The world champion could be in the sights of a great Englishman for the following season
Lionel Messi is not guaranteed the extension of his contract with PSG, especially after the elimination of the Champions League at the hands of Bayern Munich. From France they take it as a fact that the Parisian board will not renew its link until 2024, although everything was practically defined. In this context, an English club would go for the top winner of the Ballon d’Or (7), who would have a juicy salary, far from what Cristiano Ronaldo currently earns.
After the World Cup in Qatar, Cristiano Ronaldo signed for Al-Nassr in Saudi Arabia. The ‘Bug’, who is the top scorer in the Champions League, signed a contract until 2025 in exchange for 200 million euros. In this way, the former Manchester United, Real Madrid and Juventus striker became the highest paid player in the world, above Kylian Mbappé, who earns 72 million at PSG, according to ‘Le Parisien’.
While the Portuguese has an exorbitant salary, Lionel Messi, as L’Équipe points out, wants to earn 35 million euros net per season. Given his possible departure from PSG, an English club would be in a position to pay said amount to the captain of the Argentine team, who won the long-awaited World Cup Qatar, where he scored seven goals and provided three assists.
What English club could go for Lionel Messi?
It’s about Manchester City. The team led by Pep Guardiola could be left without Erling Haaland, since ‘RMC Sport’ points out that PSG wants to pay 200 million euros for the Norwegian. In this way, the English team would have an economic amount to invest in the salary of the ‘Flea’. Guardiola admires the ’10’ of the Albiceleste and could be encouraged to offer a juicy salary and the possibility of winning a new Champions League.
