Where to next for Lionel Messi?

With the World Cup inching ever closer, speculation as to the next destination of Lionel Messi continues apace.

At 35, the Paris St-Germain forward has won almost every accolade in the game.

He has won the Ballon d'Or a record seven times and also won the Fifa Best Men's Player award once.

But where will the Argentine superstar be weaving his magic next season?

Despite clearly approaching the latter stages of his career, Messi, with 11 goals and 14 assists from 17 Ligue 1 and Champions League appearances this season, is very much back to his frightening best.

Put simply, if PSG were to put a contract on the table and tell him it had to be signed there and then, Messi would do so.

But with qualification into the knockout stage of the Champions League secured, his main focus is on the World Cup and he has asked everyone in his entourage not to talk about his future until after then.

That could be January or June, but certainly after the tournament.

Messi's current contract, which runs until the end of June next year, was for two years plus an option of a third, although the extra year only comes into effect if both parties agree to it.
