PSG give Lionel Messi update amid David Beckham transfer plan for ... (Manchester Evening News)

Lionel Messi's contract expires in the summer and the PSG star has been linked with a transfer to David Beckham's Inter Miami.

However, having struggled to recreate his best form during his debut season in France, Messi has shown this year why he is one of the best players in the world still and remains an elite player for Europe's top clubs. It has not been a perfect season for PSG, failing to top their Champions League group. I love him because he’s a great father. He plays the game just free the way he plays.
