There remains continued speculation surrounding Lionel Messi’s future and whether that will be at either Manchester City, Paris Saint-Germain or Barcelona.
The Argentinian can have his pick of clubs from January 1, once the transfer window opens for business, as his contract runs out at the end of the season when he will become a free agent.
Never before have Barca been in this position with their greatest ever player, and it opens up the possibility that he will end his career somewhere other than Camp Nou.
However, according to Sport, money isn’t a factor and Messi is going to wait to talk to the new president and understand his ideas first before making any decisions.
What that means in practice is that no matter how many column inches are written in the interim, it won’t be until at least the end of January before we know where Messi will play next season.
