Unfortunately, I don't think we have any interest in Messi this year, but also I just can't see him going to PSG.
Assuming they win the cl, is that enough for him to win the Balon Dor. I'm not sure it will be awarded based on 13 games. None of the Ligue 1 games will be taken into account.
He will also be used as the face of one of the most controversial world cups ever. The cancel culture club haven't really turned their attention to Qatar yet but they will soon enough, highlighting the conditions and deaths of workers. The media will lap it up and reveal scandal and bribery and there will be Messi caught between a rock and a hard place. Qatar won't care, they will feel they own him
Wherever he goes, he clearly doesn't want to be there and that's why I think we are not interested. Last year was different, the best player in the world was trying to force through a move to the club he felt were best placed to win the cl and his best chance of winning the balon dor. He would have been leaving on bad terms and we saw the potential for a much longer term association with Messi. He could have stayed on with CFG as an ambassador.
The way he has now left Barca, he will be back there the first chance he gets but where does he go now?
