Paris Saint-Germain star Lionel Messi looks set to extend his stay in the French capital despite reports of Barcelona manager Xavi being keep to bring him back to Camp Nou.
Messi had spent his entire career with Barcelona before leaving in 2020, scoring a club-record 672 goals. However, his first season with PSG was far from a success as he ended the campaign with just 11 goals - his lowest personal return in more than 15 years.
After the Argentine missed out on the Ballon d'Or shortlist, speculation of a return to Catalunya has grown. Xavi was a teammate of Messi's for a number of Champions League and La Liga triumphs, but even his comments about a reunion might not be enough to seal the deal.
