With Manchester City appearing to close the door on a move for Lionel Messi, Paris Saint-Germain may be the most likely next destination for the Argentinian superstar
after Barcelona said they could not afford to give him a new contract.
But 18 months into a global pandemic, these are not normal times. Football has not proven immune as a season-and-a-half of empty stadiums has taken a huge financial toll. City could potentially afford his wages and Messi would likely be open to a reunion with Pep Guardiola, his former mentor in Catalonia who is now in charge of the Premier League champions.
Messi "absolutely fits the strategy developed by the club over the past 10 years," observed Christophe Lepetit of the Centre for Law and Sporting Economy in the French city of Limoges to AFP."In sporting terms he is a player who can help you climb the last step to win the Champions League," an accolade which still eludes PSG, who lost the 2020 final to Bayern Munich.But Pochettino shrugged off questions on Friday, passing the ball to chairman Nasser al Khelaifi.
