Lionel Messi transfer latest as Chelsea face huge decision amid £1bn wish

Lionel Messi is reportedly more likely to leave Paris Saint-Germain than stay with the French side.

Messi is out of contract in the summer with the two-year deal he signed upon leaving Barcelona at the end of the 2020/21 season expiring at the end of the current campaign.

However, after winning the World Cup with his country last year Messi is even more of an attraction for teams wishing to add star power to their ranks. Chelsea co-owner Todd Boehly is said to have registered an interest in signing Messi and with the American having already spent £600 million on new players, he could make a marquee signing in the PSG forward.
