Reports suggest that Lionel Messi will likely accept Paris Saint-Germain's offer of a contract extension once the 2022 FIFA World Cup is over.

The seven-time Ballon d'Or winner is inching closer to extending his stay with PSG, according to Sique Rodriguez of Cadena SER.
The Argentine is currently on international duty as La Albiceleste prepare themselves for a semi-final showdown against Croatia.
Despite multiple rumours linking Messi with a potential return to Barcelona or moving across the Atlantic to join David Beckham's Inter Miami, it seems the chances of either happening are slim.
Club president Nasser Al-Khelaifi has previously insisted that Messi is happy in France, suggesting that the Argentine could extend his contract with the Parisians.
The 35-year-old has seemingly recaptured his world-class form in his second season at the Parc des Princes following a disappointing first campaign in Paris.
During the 2022/23 campaign so far, the Rosario native has scored 12 goals and provided 14 assists in 19 matches across all competitions for PSG, and he has carried that fine form into the global showpiece in Qatar.
The Argentina captain has previously expressed that he will only give a definitive answer about his future after the tournament in the Gulf has concluded, and as it approaches its business end, the truth about the playmaker's future seems to become more and more apparent.
