Lionel Messi has confirmed that he will remain at Paris Saint-Germain next season, despite reports linking him with a move to Barcelona or Manchester United. The Argentine superstar, who is currently on loan from Barcelona until the end of the season, has enjoyed his time in France so far and plans to continue playing in Ligue 1.
In an interview with Canal+, Messi said: "I am very happy to be here at Paris Saint-Germain. I have enjoyed my time here and I hope to continue playing in Ligue 1 next season."
The 34-year-old has scored 26 goals and provided 15 assists in his first season with PSG, helping them to finish second in the league last term. He also played a key role in their victory over Liverpool in the Champions League semi-final.
Despite this success, Messi has expressed his desire to win a title with PSG next season. "We want to win the championship again next year," he added. "It's important for us as a team and for me personally. We need to keep working hard and believe in ourselves."
Barcelona and Manchester United are both reportedly interested in signing Messi this summer, but it seems that he is content with his current club. The Argentina international has been linked with moves to the Premier League before, but he has always remained loyal to PSG.
Overall, it looks like Messi will be staying put for now, and fans can expect to see more of him in the coming months. With his experience and talent, he could help PSG challenge for the Ligue 1 title next season and beyond.
