Lionel Messi will stay at Paris Saint-Germain for an additional season despite being approached by his former club.
The 35-year-old was approached by Inter Miami and his beloved Barcelona, in which he made a name for himself as the best player in the world.
That status has since only further been confirmed after he was crowned a world champion in Qatar on Sunday. As expected, the Argentina captain was instrumental in his national team’s journey to lifting the trophy.
He has now completed the most remarkable trophy cabinet in history; containing seven Ballon d’Or awards, 10 La Liga titles, four Champions Leagues, seven Copa del Rey, eight Supercopa de Espana and many more.
