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.

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.

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.
