FC Barcelona – La Liga Interest in the compatriot
Mauricio Pochettino flirted with the idea of bringing Lionel Messi at Paris Saint-Germain.
The contract of the 33 – year – old at Barcelona is at the end of this season, with PSG one of the clubs said he was interested in signing it.
“The club has a strategy to improve”, PSG boss Pochettino said RMC Sport.
“If the opportunity to train Messi come on, it would be amazing. But if not, it’s not a problem. “
“[Messi and I] share our love for Newell. We both wore that shirt, we have that connection. But we will see. You don’t know what the future holds for us and whether our roads will be cut. “
If he moved to the Parc des Princes, Messi would join a strong Argentine contingent at the club, with Pochettino, Angel Di Maria and Leonardo Paredes already there.
He will reunite with his ex Barcelona teammate Neymar, as well as the attacking colleague Kylian Mbappe.
“It simply came to our notice then PSG for a long time,” Pochettino added on Neymar and Mbappe.
“I have no doubt about that. I am very optimistic and the club is working hard to be successful in the talks and to keep both.
“Rather than just information, I have that feeling. But this is how I see it: Mbappe and Neymar they are happy, they are having fun here and the club is working to keep them both. “
