World Cup winner Lionel Messi has agreed to stay at Paris Saint-Germain, according to local media in France.
The 35-year-old, who led Argentina to victory over France in the World Cup final last weekend in Qatar, will sign a one-season extension to his current deal in Paris, which runs out in the summer.
Le Parisian and RMC Sport said that Messi will meet with PSG president Nasser Al-Khelaifi and other top club officials when he gets back from the World Cup.
Messi joined PSG in 2021 on a deal for two seasons with an option for a third. Before that, he had played his whole professional career for Barcelona.
The seven-time Ballon d’Or winner also won Spain’s La Liga 10 times and the Champions League four times (in 2006, 2009, 2011, and 2015).
On Sunday, he helped Argentina win the World Cup final against France in a penalty shootout. The match had ended 3-3 after extra time.
