Paris Saint-Germain

(What They Offer: Competitive Squad, Neymar Reunion, Mauricio Pochettino)

The French giants got linked to the world’s best player when former Barcelona man, Neymar Jr, decided to publicly admit that he wanted to play with Messi again. The two have kept a good friendship even though the Brazilian left them in 2017. In an interview with La Sexta, the Argentine acknowledged his former teammate’s remarks but did not add anything to the rumor.

Still, PSG could be a very likely club for Messi. They are an ambitious team with a great squad, they just hired a new manager, who is also eager to prove himself plus, Paris is a cosmopolitan city thus his family will not have to change their lifestyle. When Mauricio Pochettino was asked about his opinion on the Messi rumor in his first press conference, he said,

"“We leave the rumours aside. All great players are welcome at PSG. It’s one of the biggest clubs, if not the biggest in the world, so it’s normal that there are rumours. We have just arrived so we leave them aside.” Source Goal"
