PSG is said to be interested in keeping Messi, but last year's Champions League fiasco and Kylian Mbappé's renewal have left the French club somewhat indecisive in whether to offer him a contract extension. It's been reported that the Qatari-owned club will decide to offer him a new contract until the World Cup finishes next December.
