Transfer: PSG president, Al-Khalifi speaks on Messi leaving club

Paris Saint-Germain president, Nasser al-Khelaifi has expressed his confidence that Lionel Messi will stay at the club.

Messi’s deal with the Ligue 1 champions runs out next June.

The 35-year-old has already been heavily linked with a move to Major League Soccer side Inter Miami.

However, there is a clause in Messi’s current contract with PSG that could see him trigger a one-year extension.

“If a player’s not happy you will see their performance not good for the national team. He performed fantastic this season for us, he’s scored a lot of goals and assists for the national team and for the club.

“So what we agreed together that after the World Cup, [we] sit down together. But both sides are very happy, so we will talk after the World Cup,” Al-Khelaifi said.
