Lionel Messi’s contract renewal talks with Paris Saint-Germain have been put on hold while the club’s ownership holds talks over investing in a Premier League club.
The club’s Qatar Sports Investments (QSI) ownership – led by PSG president Nasser Al-Khelaifi – held talks with Tottenham chairman Daniel Levy in London this month over the possibility of making a minority investment in the North London club. The move comes as Levy faces growing discontent from Spurs fans.
QSI are open to investing in one of a number of Premier League clubs, but Manchester United and Liverpool are not under consideration despite both of the English giants seeking new investment with United pursuing a full sale of the club.
