Lionel Messi has been warned that he may have to retire from international duty with Argentina in order to secure a contract extension at Paris Saint-Germain.
The 35-year-old icon, who gloriously inspired his nation to winning the World Cup in December, has just over four months remaining on his current deal with the French giants. PSG are keen to tie Messi down on a lucrative new contract following his superb displays this season, but he and the cash-rich Ligue 1 champions have so far been unable to reach an agreement.
Meanwhile, speculation surrounding a sensational return to beloved former team Barcelona is hotting up after his father and agent, Jorge Messi, allegedly met with club president Joan Laporta. Although a move back to the Camp Nou following two seasons away remains unlikely at this stage, doubts are only growing over whether or not seven-time Ballon d'Or winner's future will be in Paris.
