Barcelona is in the last year of Lionel Messi's contract. No talks have been started with the Argentine forward's new contract with the club in New Camp. The question is flying in the football sky of Europe - is Messi going to leave the new camp at the end of this season? With this question comes a supplementary question — so which club will get one of the best footballers of the time to become a free agent?
Neymar turned the tide last week with a small remark. The Brazilian forward of PSG said that he wants to play in the same team with Messi again. And this wish may be fulfilled soon! Neymar's words have caused a storm of discussion in the football world. Most people are assuming, Messi's next address is Paris, he will sign up for PSG!
However, the possibility of Messi-Neymar reunion has been ruled out by PSG's sports director Leonardo. The former Brazilian footballer said, "No, no, that's not the point. You may understand that it is normal for Neymar to tell this to an Argentine journalist. When it comes to reunion with Messi, he has to say something like that. That's normal.
Messi and Neymar have played together for four years in Barcelona. The friendship between the two is also quite good. After Neymar signed for PSG in 2016, there were rumors that he would return to Barcelona several times. It is also heard that Messi rushed to take Neymar to the Nou Camp. There are rumors that Messi was angry with the club officials for not being able to bring Neymar back from PSG.
Neymar may want to play in the same team with Messi again. But in the middle of the season, PSG is not thinking about changing players, Leonardo said, "We have to show respect to others. He (Messi) is a Barcelona player. When someone says that about one of our players, we don't take it well. So we can't do such a tug of war with the players of any other team.
Leonardo said the PSG were focusing on their game without talking about bikinis in the middle of the season, adding that "this is not the time to talk about it. We are happy with the squad we have. We are thinking about our own game. I'm especially thinking about the first part of the season, which was very complicated. '
Messi may have given the team players a hint about the issue, "We should be focused on our goals. Our goal at the moment is to make it to the last 16 of the Champions League. At the same time we have to think about League One. We have to be careful not to get caught up in any competition. "
Before Leonardo, PSG president Nasser Al-Khelaifio has ruled out a Neymar-Messi reunion. The Arab millionaire is trying to keep himself away from the issue of Messi's transfer. Barcelona coach Ronald Koman has also tried to blow up the issue before.
