Chelsea and Todd Boehly could still complete one of the signings of the summer in Lionel Messi. The World Cup winner is expected to leave Paris Saint-Germain at the end of the season.
Messi has spent the last two seasons in France after joining on a free transfer from Barcelona. The 2021 signing was another attempt by Qatari Sports Investments to bring the Champions League title to the Parc de France, but Les Parisiens have crashed out in the round of 16 in both years.
With PSG edging closer to another Ligue 1 title, Messi's future is growing increasingly likely to be away from France. A return to Barcelona has been strongly tipped, with clubs in Saudi Arabia and the United States keen on his services too.
