Paris Saint-Germain are interested in signing Barcelona star Lionel Messi, according to ESPN Argentina.Lionel Messi's contract with Barcelona expires at the end of the season, and reports suggest that PSG want to be at the front of the queue when it comes to potential negotiations over Messi's future.Messi's future with Barcelona was a topic that stole most of the transfer headlines this summer. The 33-year-old was desperate to move away from the Camp Nou after the club endured a disappointing 2019-20 season, finishing second in La Liga and getting thrashed by Bayern Munich in the Champions League.Lionel Messi was further angered by the way the Barcelona board treated close friend Luis Suarez, who was shown the exit door after six successful years at the club. Messi was heavily linked with a move to Manchester City, where he would've reunited with former Barcelona coach Pep Guardiola.The deal however, fell through because Messi's representatives were unable to find a way out of his enormous €700 million release clause.Lionel Messi is not joining PSG, according to his father Jorge ❌🇫🇷"Stop inventing!
