New challenge

A new challenge is of course the primary reason as to why Messi would want to depart. The 33-year-old has won literally everything in Spain, from collective to individual accolades. With that said, his biggest rival in Cristiano Ronaldo has three different league wins under his belt in addition to an international trophy, which is definitely not part of this argument.

Manchester City and Paris Saint-Germain are two of the several clubs vying to sign the Argentine. The middle-east owned footballing duo is dominative in its respective leagues and has all the money to fund Messi’s transfer. He could go there and win in other countries, while the clubs may find a missing piece in their Champions League quest.
