Ex-PSG Star Urges Club to Secure Lionel Messi’s Continuing Contract
Former PSG winger Ludovic Giuly recently proposed that the club should do everything they can to keep superstar midfielder Lionel Messi at the Parisian side. After putting in a man of the match performance against LOSC Lille, scoring the decisive fourth goal, it’s not hard to see why extending his contract would be beneficial for Les Parisiens. Not only would it be more difficult for their rivals to acquire his services, but he demonstrated once again why he is widely regarded as one of this generation’s greatest players. With an impressive track record full of major titles, Messi seems primed to continue leading PSG on their quest for silverware and success.
Lionel Messi has been a mainstay of the Paris Saint-Germain team since joining in 2020 and it appears that they want to keep him around for years to come. With his current contract expiring at the end of this season, PSG are reportedly looking to negotiate an extension with the Argentinian icon in order to ensure he remains with the Ligue 1 champions for years to come. It would be no surprise if Messi agrees as he has found great success since his arrival, leading this team on a path of glory. There’s no question that securing such a talismanic figure long-term would be great news for any fan of Paris Saint-Germain, both now and into the future.
Jerome Rothen may disagree, but Ludovic Giuly is advocating for Lionel Messi to stay with Paris Saint-Germain. Giuly, the former winger for PSG, argues that Messi is still one of the best, if not the best soccer players in the world and knows how to bring success to any team he is a part of. While his performance at the Parc des Princes might not have been quite up to expectations, Giuly stands firm in believing that if PSG can get Messi tied down to a new contract, it could bode well for their fortunes on and off the pitch.
Former French footballer, Giuly, recently urged the Parisians to be mindful of Lionel Messi’s age and use him in moderation. He warned that if they overwork him and don’t give him adequate rest, not only would it affect his performance on the field but also put a dent in his “state of mind”. Giuly went on to add that managing Messi effectively will ensure they extract full value from his experience and capabilities over the course of the season. It remains to be seen whether the Parisians heed Giuly’s advice and manage the legendary forward with an eye on the long term.
