Coach Christophe Galtier confirmed that this Saturday’s match was to be Messi’s last one in a PSG shirt. However, PSG officiale have since been in denial. They even released a promotional video for next season which featured the Argentine. Yet, it’s still now sure that he will leave the club. He will also be making a decision on his future within next week. He has offers from Barcelona, Inter Miami, and Al-Hilal. Reportedly, more European clubs are coming into the picture at this late hour.
Barcelona
Depending on Leo Messi’s salary and market value, comparably, Barcelona are in the worst situation to get in the race to sign him. They will have to sort out their financial issues to be able to sign him. Those issues could become the sole hindrance in Messi’s way to Camp Nou.
However, Messi has spent majority of his career at Barcelona and still has an undeniable bond with the club. Hence, Las Blaugranas still hold the greatest chance to bring him back. Additionally, Barcelona are already working to fix their financial issues by selling some players and saying goodbye to some veterans, like Sergio Busquets and Jordi Alba.
Barcelona coach Xavi and President Joan Laporta both have repeatedly confirmed that they are talking to Leo Messi. However, they have not been able to present him with an official offer yet. To be able to do that, they will have to get La Liga’s ‘yes’ on their viability plans. It was Xavi who gave the news that Messi said he will decide on his destination by next week.

Inter Miami
The MLS side which is co-owned by England legend David Beckham have also shown interest in the Argentine. As per reports, they have offered Messi an amazing €50 million per season salary. However, they have a more impressive offer up their sleeve which could attract Messi. There have been reports that Inter Miami could team up with Las Blaugranas to sign Leo Messi to the MLS club. However, they will then immediately loan him to Barcelona for the next 6-18 months. In any case, their lucrative offers still have a place in the race.
Al-Hilal
Al-Hilal have been trying to present Leo Messi with an offer he can’t refuse. Reportedly, they are offering Messi a salary of over €500 million per season. In all realities, no club can compete with this humongous amount. Hence, the Saudi club definitely have an upper hand. However, this deal will only happen if Messi decides to leave Europe. He still has some good years left to play. Hence, he could want to keep playing in a more competitive league in Europe.
