Paris Saint-Germain are preparing to offer Lionel Messi a three-year contract, according to reports.
The Argentina international is out of contract at Barcelona on June 30 and his future remains uncertain.
Barcelona fans hoped Messi’s future would be resolved soon after last month’s presidential vote, which saw Joan Laporta elected as Josep Maria Bartomeu’s permanent successor.
The situation is complicated by their financial predicament, with Barcelona said to have debts worth more than €1 billion.
The terms are said to be “financially advantageous”, but it is still unclear whether Messi is still keen to leave the Camp Nou.
Messi will continue. If he leaves it won’t be for money,” he told Sin Concesiones.
