Lionel Messi is set to decide where his future lies beyond next summer in the coming months. The 35-year-old forward faces an increasingly uncertain future at Paris Saint-Germain with his contract at Les Parc des Princes set to expire at the end of the season.
He featured 12 times for the French giants in Ligue 1 this season, directly contributing towards 17 goals. The Argentina international's impressive displays had led the Parisians to the top of the table.
But, despite his awe-inspiring performances, the option to extend Messi's stay in the capital by a further year is yet to be triggered. If the seven-time Ballon d'Or winner decides against staying at PSG until 2024 then he'll be eligible to begin pre-contract talks with foreign clubs - like Chelsea - in January over a free transfer in June.
