Spanish newspaper Marca gives an update on Lionel Messi’s plans. He had been linked with a return to Barcelona from Paris Saint-Germain, but the Argentine is focused on three other aims.
First he wants to seal this season’s Ligue 1 title, then be ready for next year’s World Cup in Qatar, before taking another run at the Champions League. He will not leave PSG this summer, but he will also not extend his contract yet.
What exactly does the future have in store for Messi?https://t.co/1GuGC6GJuB

Paper Round’s view: With no plans as yet to sign on for more time in France, it seems as if Messi has a year left to add to his major trophy haul, at which point he may be considering an easier life. If his decline continues then he will not be worth huge wages unless he is prepared to switch to less prestigious leagues, perhaps following Xavi’s route to Qatar, or perhaps MLS.
