Manchester United Reportedly Offered Lionel Messi a Contract as His PSG Deal Nears Expiration

Rumors have circulated that Manchester United may pursue Lionel Messi, who is now 35 years old, as his tenure with Paris Saint-Germain nears its end.

This speculation comes after United was previously linked with the football superstar two years ago.

As Lionel Messi prepares to depart from Paris Saint-Germain this summer, he has garnered attention from several teams, including Al-Hilal and Inter Miami. Despite this, Messi’s desire to remain in Europe could lead to a final high-profile transfer.

Manchester United is a potential destination, as they reportedly expressed interest in signing the forward two years ago when it became evident that he would be departing from Barcelona.

According to The Sun, before Lionel Messi’s transfer to Paris Saint-Germain was finalized, his representatives had made initial inquiries about the possibility of a move to Manchester United.

Reports then emerged that Manchester United had made a contract offer to Lionel Messi in hopes of securing his signature.

This summer, the club could be subject to a takeover, with Sir Jim Ratcliffe appearing to be the frontrunner.

However, Sheikh Jassim has expressed interest in pursuing a “Galactico” strategy.

Signing Messi would undoubtedly make a statement, even though his abilities may be declining as he ages, he is still considered one of the best footballers in the world.
