Paris Saint-Germain sporting director Luis Campos recently sat down with Telefoot, where he offered his thoughts on various topics around PSG, along with the status of first-team superstars such as Neymar and Lionel Messi.<\/p>\n
Most notably, the director confirmed PSG\u2019s talks with Messi and doubled down on the club\u2019s desire to keep him a part of the team in the foreseeable future.<\/p>\n
\u201cAt the moment, we are in discussions with Messi for his extension. I would like to keep him in this project, I can\u2019t hide it. We are talking at the moment to achieve this goal, and continue to have him with us,\u201d Campos told Telefoot.<\/p>\n
Campos took over the reins at PSG during the summer, replacing Leonardo Araujo. Although Campos\u2019 new signings have had mixed success, the director has been credited for his work in the dressing room, which has translated into an excellent start to the season for PSG.<\/p>\n
Campos\u2019 influence has been critical in the management of the club\u2019s star players as well, with various sources suggesting that Messi is determined to continue his chapter at Parc des Princes for at least another year, despite interest from former employers Barcelona.<\/p>\n
Ben Jacobs broke an update yesterday, suggesting that PSG have failed to reach a verbal agreement with Messi over a renewal.<\/p>\n
Although the update might have alerted Barcelona, there are no immediate indications that Messi wants to leave Paris this summer. In fact, it is PSG who have the upper hand, and if everything goes well, the forward is set to earn a new contract until 2024, with an option to extend it further.<\/p>\n
In any case, Bar\u00e7a are not in a position to make a move to re-sign the Argentine in the coming summer, due to the problems with Financial Fair Play rules.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
