PSG: Fabrizio Romano gives fresh update on Messi’s future at Parc des Princes
Transfer guru, Fabrizio Romano has provided a fresh update on Paris Saint-Germain forward, Lionel Messi’s future at the Parc des Princes.
Messi recently returned to Paris following his 2022 FIFA World Cup triumph with Argentina’s national team.
However, Messi’s contract with PSG will expire at the end of the season.
The former Barcelona captain has been linked with a return to Camp Nou, a move to Saudi Arabia clubs Al-Ittihad and Al Hilal and also a move to the MLS in the USA.
Despite the rumours, Romano stated in his column with Caught Offside that Messi is committed to staying in Paris.
“PSG and Messi have a verbal pact to continue together. Both parties are just waiting to meet to discuss length of the contract, salary and more details, but they want to continue,” Romano said.
“I expect Messi to stay at PSG; I’m not aware of any other negotiation.”

EPL: Liverpool in talks with Arne Slot to replace Klopp
Liverpool have opened talks with Feyenoord about appointing Arne Slot as their new manager.
According to Sky Sports, Slot is now the favourite to replace Jurgen Klopp at Anfield.
The Dutchman is believed to tick all their key criteria for the role and the process could move quickly with the 45-year-old keen to join the Reds.
Slot lifted the KNVB Cup last weekend and guided Feyenoord to their first title in six years last season.
He appeals to Liverpool due to his aggressive, full-throttle style.
Slot’s penchant for a 4-2-3-1 or 4-3-3 formation also fits Liverpool’s squad.

EPL: Lee Sharps wants ex-PSG coach to replace Ten Hag at Man Utd
Former Manchester Player, Lee Sharps wants former Paris Saint-Germain manager Unai Emery to replace Erik ten Hag at Old Trafford.
Ten Hag’s long-term future at Man United is unclear because of the Re Devils’ performances this season.
Man United currently sit outside of the Premier League top four behind the likes of Newcastle United, Tottenham Hotspur, Aston Villa, Liverpool, Arsenal and Manchester City.
“If I were choosing and Erik ten Hag was to go, Unai Emery would be at the top of my list.
“I think given the support and the full backing, he could replicate what he has done at [Aston] Villa. I think he’d be a class manager for United.”
