Lionel Messi v Kylian Mbappe: PSG wages, net worth and World ... (WalesOnline)

The PSG stars are going head to head in the World Cup final between France and Argentina.

- Neymar Jr - 30 - Paris Saint-Germain - £71m (£45m on-field, £36m off-field) - Lionel Messi - 35 - Paris Saint-Germain - £99m (£54m on-field, £45m off-field) This is due largely to his staggering £90m on-field earnings. His semi-final appearance saw him equal Lothar Matthaus' haul of 25. However, if you thought this deal would have left the Ligue 1 side strapped for cash, you'd be wrong, as it handed out the biggest ever contract in football history to their other superstar, Kylian Mbappe, earlier this year. He then moved to French champions Paris Saint-Germain, where he is reportedly paid around £700,000 per week by the club.

PSG president confident Kylian Mbappe, Lionel Messi will stay at club (Sports Mole)

Paris Saint-Germain president Nasser Al-Khelaifi is confident that both Kylian Mbappe and Lionel Messi will stay at the club.

But I'm also happy for Messi, it is the icing on the cake for him, he deserves it, and Kylian still has years to go to win the World Cup again." It was difficult for me because I was going with France. I don't want to say anything more about Leo, we have an agreement to talk after the World Cup," he told reporters.

Will Lionel Messi extend his contract at PSG? (AS English)

Could Lionel Messi's performances at the Qatar 2022 World Cup for Argentina convince him to prolong his career at the very highest level?

Many in Argentina are calling for him to play in the USA, Mexico and Canada in 2026 so that he would become the only player in history to play in six World Cups. In his press conference after the final, Argentina head coach Lionel Scaloni said that “if he wants to, the number 10 is his at the next World Cup”. After a hectic end to the year, he’ll take the time he needs to rest up before returning to Paris to do what he does best. Messi has already won seven of them and his eighth might be in the post after PSG want Messi to stay on and have already drafted up a new contract that’s waiting to be signed, a strategy which worked for Al Khelaïfi with Kylian Mbappé, who had looked set at one stage to move on away from the French capital. The World Cup has already proved that, however, which might well put Inter Miami’s dreams of taking him to MLS on the backburner for now.

PSG optimistic of new Messi contract after World Cup glory in Qatar (Sport English)

The French club hope to tie Messi down to a new contract with his deal up in June.

All this, added to the good 'feeling' that he maintains with Al-Khelaïfi, and his desire to win the Champions League again, allows the club to think that he will continue playing in Paris. In this sense, he has already fulfilled all the objectives that a footballer can dream of and the time has come for him, beyond the demands with which he has lived throughout his career, to enjoy football in the most playful sense of the word. The sensations at the Parisian club are good and there is optimism about the renewal of the Argentine.

Messi faced with a decision over his future: Back to Barcelona, Inter ... (MARCA.com)

Leo Messi ticked the World Cup off his list of possible achievements but, after plenty of celebrations, he will have to consider his future.

There had been speculation that the trip might be used to sound out the situation of his future but, in the end, considered that it was neither the time nor the place for this type of gesture. The Argentinian, who broke all the records as a Blaugrana, left in tears. You deserve it.

Paris Saint-Germain confident of Lionel Messi signing extension ... (Eurosport.com)

It's mixed news for Paris Saint-Germain as they feel optimistic over Lionel Messi's future in the French capital, but Kylian Mbappe may request to leave.

Paper Round’s view: It was a stroke of genius to make sure Mac Allister had signed a new deal before he scooted off to the World Cup in Qatar. FIFA will be questioned after celebrity chef Nusret Gokce – also known as Salt Bae – was given access to the pitch and joined the Argentina players in their World Cup celebrations. The Mirror report that Tottenham Hotspur are interested in the possibility of signing the 23-year-old, but Brighton smartly tied the South American down to a new contract just before the start of the World Cup. The report states that the Frenchman is willing to take a salary cut to leave and hopes PSG will negotiate to let him leave for under €150 million as a goodwill gesture. There’s no real reason for them to sell up – especially if they want to keep Messi and Neymar to keep going all out to try and win the Champions League. It would be easy for him to move to MLS and begin to settle down, but he genuinely has the quality to win another Champions League title.
