Lionel Messi, the star player of Paris Saint-Germain, is reportedly not willing to accept a pay cut in order to sign a new contract with the French champions.
Despite his transfer from Barcelona to PSG last season, Messi has not been performing at his best, and it seems that his time at the Parc des Princes may be coming to an end.
ESPN reports that Messi is not willing to accept a 25% pay reduction, which was previously thought to be a done deal before the World Cup.
As reported by Fabrizio Romano in his exclusive CaughtOffside column, Messi may be closer than ever to returning to Barca.
This is a major setback for PSG’s project, but losing Messi’s high wages could give them more flexibility with Financial Fair Play.
While the signing of Messi was a huge statement for PSG, they will be disappointed that it did not work out as expected.
