Beijing time on July 14, according to the Spanish newspaper Marca, Paris will activate the contract renewal terms of Argentinaking Messi. Last summer, Messi joined Paris as a free agent, and the two parties signed a "2+1" "The contract means that once Paris activates this clause, Messi will stay in Paris until the summer of 2024.

In the past season, Messi contributed 11 goals and 16 assists to Paris in all competitions. From a statistical point of view, Messi's performance was not too bad, but under Pochettino, Messi's overall performance struggled. He has been closely watched and double-teamed by opponents many times. At the same time, compared to the 20-21 season when Messi left 38 goals and 12 assists in Barcelona , there is still a clear downward trend. In addition, because he missed a key penalty kick in the first round of the Champions League knockout round, which became one of the triggers for Paris to be reversed by Real Madrid, Messi was booed by Paris fans for a time. With the rise and contract renewal of Mbappe , Messi's status in Paris can only be ranked second at best.

Although Mbappe has grown rapidly, Messi's past achievements are enough to prove his status and popularity in football. Although Messi is 34 years old, he still has a huge market value behind him. According to French media, Messi has only been in Paris for one year and has added 10 new sponsors to Paris. At the same time, in terms of jersey sales, Messi is the only one. Occupying 60% of sales, it directly increased Paris' revenue by 700 million in the past year. Although Messi's annual salary is as high as 40 million euros, the commercial value he brings has already offset Paris' annual salary expenses. In addition, if Messi can successfully win the World Cup in Qatar, then his status as a player in Paris will naturally continue to bring new sponsorships to Paris.

Although Messi has not settled in Paris and will return to Barcelona whenever he has a holiday, except for the two big tycoons in Paris and Newcastle, no team is willing to provide Messi with an annual salary of 40 million euros, so Messi chooses to stay in The of the Parc des Princes stadium is also reasonable. At the same time, Paris' ultimate goal has always been to win the Champions League, which coincides with Messi's idea. The Argentine king has won the Champions League four times in the past. Once the contract with Paris is renewed, Messi is expected to win the for the fifth time at least in the next two years. Big Ears Cup , thus tying the record of C Ronaldo , Benzema , Modric and others who have won the Champions League five times among active players.

It is worth mentioning that Paris did not hesitate to offer Messi a contract extension, but rejected Cristiano Ronaldo's joining. According to Le Parisien, Cristiano Ronaldo's agent Mendes recommended to Paris. Ronaldo, but Paris rejected Ronaldo's joining because Paris did not want to bear Ronaldo's annual salary of 25 million euros. At the same time, Mbappe had asked Paris to introduce some more powerful and younger players. Ronaldo's age did not meet the requirements. Being rejected by Bayern, , Chelsea, and Paris one after another, Ronaldo's intention to leave the team may be in vain. With not many teams that can take over, the probability of the Portuguese King staying at the Theater of Dreams in the new season is getting higher and higher.
