Lionel Messi has made his emotions about Cristiano Ronaldo joining him at PSG obvious
Some have suggested that Cristiano Ronaldo would leave Manchester United and join Lionel Messi at Paris Saint-Germain as a result of the player's continued leaving rumors.In light of the significant speculation around Cristiano Ronaldo's future, Lionel Messi has already stated that he would prefer to play with the Portuguese great.
The Manchester United team is in Bangkok for a preseason friendly matchup against Liverpool, but Ronaldo has not traveled there with the rest of the group. Although he is away for family reasons, the 37-year-old has been unhappy with Manchester United's performance and transfer activity since he rejoined the team from Juventus last year. As a result, he has been linked with a summer departure.
Only a few teams, including Chelsea, are anticipated to be in the running for Ronaldo. The possibility of joining Paris Saint-Germain, and the opportunity to play with Messi, has also been mentioned.
Messi was questioned about the possibility of playing with Ronaldo back in 2015. The two had been competing for several consecutive Ballons d'Or at the time, with Barcelona and Real Madrid as their respective adversaries, but the Argentine took a never-say-die attitude.
"Of course, yes." "When pressed on the matter, he replied. "He is one of the top players I prefer to play with.
"Obviously, I would like to play for the same squad, but I believe it would be challenging. I had the good fortune to compete and play with many excellent players, and I would definitely like to do the same with him.
While Ronaldo wouldn't be open to moving anyplace in particular, PSG is one of the possibilities. After last won the European championship in 2018, it seems like Champions League play is a necessity for the seasoned player, who is running out of time to add to his trophy collection.
When Ronaldo left Juventus for United in 2021, PSG president Nasser Al-Khelaifi said his club hadn't even contemplated making a play for him. The future is still up in the air, though, with Chelsea and Bayern Munich joining the French champions on the list of possible clubs for the former Real Madrid star.
The PSG transfer policy under new manager Christophe Galtier, who took over after Mauricio Pochettino was fired, may be crucial. While Messi has one year left on his contract and Kylian Mbappe will stay at Parc des Princes after agreeing to a lucrative contract extension, Neymar's future is less certain.
Five years after his world-record transfer to Paris, the Brazil international has been linked with a summer exit, with Chelsea among the potential purchasers. Given that Angel Di Maria has departed PSG this summer, if he does leave, it might provide room for a new attacking scout.
