Messi's father holds contract talks with PSG

Lionel Messi's father has held face-to-face talks with Paris Saint-Germain for the first time over the Argentina star's proposed new contract.

Jorge Messi sat down with sporting director Luis Campos in Paris two days ago as the French champions ramped up their bid to secure Messi for another year.

Further negotiations are expected in the coming weeks - with Leo Messi's priority being to stay in elite European football at least until summer 2024

He is free to speak to any other club outside of France, with his current deal expiring in June this year - but PSG are the only club to have made Messi a tangible offer so far.

Despite widespread speculation, there has been no formal offer from any club in Major League Soccer, nor from Saudi Arabia - nor from former club Barcelona.
