Though rumours before and during the 2022 FIFA World Cup suggested the 35-year-old was close to agreeing a contract extension in France, it seems a final decision from the player has not yet been made.

Saudi Arabia, Spain and the United States have been tipped as possible next destinations for Messi amid suggestions that his relationship with the French giants has deteriorated since the team's early exit from the UEFA Champions League.
This has led to increased interest in the rumours that state he could be interested in heading back to Barcelona, where he spent his entire professional career before joining PSG as a free agent in 2021.
Spanish outlet RAC1 has become the latest publication to suggest that Messi is "seriously considering" a return to the Blaugrana at the end of the season in favour of extending his stay in Paris.
While Barca's financial struggles could impact a swoop for their all-time record goalscorer, Messi is believed to be attracted to a return on a personal and sporting level, as per the story, with several current first-team players at the Catalan side having publicly stated their desire to see the Argentinian back at his boyhood club.
Messi scored an incredible 672 goals in 778 appearances for Barcelona after making his debut, assisting a further 303 strikes.
