That is why an image can keep hope alive among the fans of the culé team. Messi’s wife, Antonela Roccuzzo, shared a photo with Robert Lewandowski’s partner, Anna Lewandowska. Although it is a simple image in which both pose friendly, it could be an indication to see the star from Rosario again with the shirt of the Catalan team next season.

Uncertainty grows about the future of Lionel Messi after the elimination of PSG: the 4 possible scenarios
PSG’s elimination from the Champions League at the hands of Bayern Munich in the round of 16 put a big question mark around the future of Lionel Messi. The European tournament was the great objective of Rosario with the Parisian cast and that illusion, as in last season, was cut short. As the expiration date of the contract that unites the striker with the club approaches, the big question is: will he renew his contract in the middle of the year or will he look for other directions?
On more than one occasion, Messi admitted that adapting to Paris was not easy for him. His departure from Barcelona had been very traumatic and moving to another country had not necessarily been his own decision. However, over the months, the soccer player and his family managed to feel comfortable in his new home. This, perhaps, could be one of the reasons to stay and not undertake a new change.
The truth is that, currently, there are four scenarios that are presented as possible in the future of the man who assured that on December 18, 2022 he achieved the greatest dream of his career: winning a World Cup with the Argentine National Team.
Renewal with PSG
Continuity in the French capital as a whole is a concrete chance for Messi. The club’s leadership wants to retain him and there has already been a first contact with Jorge Messi, Lionel’s father and manager.
For the moment, this talk has not resulted in any agreement, but it is a good sign: there is a predisposition on both sides to extend the link.
If the agreement is signed, La Pulga would begin his third season with PSG after having arrived in mid-2021, from Barcelona.

Return to Barcelona
In recent weeks, the version regarding a possible return of Messi to Barcelona began to circulate strongly. There was even talk of a meeting between Jorge Messi and the president of the club, Joan Laporta, pointed out by many as the culprit for the player’s departure.
At the moment, they are just rumors, although Laporta admitted that the meeting with Leo’s father existed. “We have seen Jorge Messi. I congratulated him on Argentina’s triumph in the World Cup and we talked about a tribute to Leo, ”he commented in the last hours.
Barcelona is the city where Lionel lived for more than 20 years and where his children were born. There he has his house and he returns every time he has a few days off. Is it time to wear the Azulgrana shirt again?
The possibility of playing in the United States
Inter Miami, a team that plays in the first division of the United States and which has the English David Beckham as its owner, has made public on more than one occasion that its intention is to have Messi in its ranks shortly.
“I always had the illusion of being able to enjoy and live in the United States, to play in that league and live there, but not for now. Later, if it happens or not, I don’t know”, Leo himself told the La Sexta program in 2020.
In recent reports, the US press has assured that the captain of the Argentine National Team could be offered the highest salary in MLS history.

Newell’s dream?
Messi is a Newell’s fan, but was never able to wear the team’s jersey as a professional. It is a dream that he has pending, the same as playing in Argentine soccer.
However, the national reality could conspire against that illusion. Rosario has become a very hot spot and, just a few days ago, they shot at the front of a supermarket owned by the family of Antonela Roccuzzo, Messi’s wife.
