As they are ready to face off in the World Cup final later on today, the Argentine and Kylian Mbappe's futures at PSG remain uncertain. In fact, there has been much speculation regarding the futures of both players ever since the start of the season.
According to La Gazzetta Dello Sport, the PSG president said, "Kylian has recently signed a new deal, and Leo's contract lasts at least until the end of the season. Both but all of our athletes are delighted to represent PSG. Even before the World Cup, their most recent results were proof of it. PSG hasn't yet suffered a defeat. The women's PSG is also performing well.
Moreover, he said, “No decision on Messi’s contract will be made until next year. Club and player will do what is right and in the best interests of both parties. We are all very happy right now, which is great.”
Mbappe and Messi have been mentioned as possible January departures, most recently being connected to MLS team Inter Miami. But despite that, they’ve both been in top form for club and country, scoring and assisting frequently.
Messi and Mbappe will return to France with PSG atop Ligue 1 after the World Cup final. They will start preparing for their Champions League match against Bayern Munich when they return to Europe.
