Lionel Messi’s father and agent Jorge has met with Barcelona president Joan Laporta but no transfer proposal was offered by the Catalan club.
The Argentine superstar’s future at Paris Saint-Germain looks more uncertain than ever. Contract talks have been put on hold by the Ligue 1 giants with less than three months remaining of the 35-year-old’s deal.
Messi has netted 19 goals and provided 20 assists this season and has spoken of his happiness at adapting to life in France this term. It has marked a true return to form for a player who also memorably won the World Cup in December – but his future in Paris is not guaranteed.
