PSG and Manchester City are reportedly very keen on snapping up the legendary forward.

Man City were the supposed front-runners to secure his services after the player handed in a shock transfer request last summer.

However, fresh reports say Messi could end up in Paris with Neymar working behind the scenes.

The Brazilian is playing his role in Messi's future and is hoping to reunite with his former Barcelona teammate in France.

Neymar, 29, left the Catalan giants in a world-record transfer to PSG and has since forged a lethal strike-force with Kylian Mbappe, who also sealed a mega money move to Parc des Princes.

Of course, after a turbulent transfer window, Messi decided to stay at Barcelona with the six-time Ballon d'Or winner weighing in with 17 goals in all competitions this term.

His side currently occupy second place in La Liga, eight points behind leaders Atletico Madrid.

As luck would have it, Barcelona and PSG will clash in the Champions League round of 16 next week.
