Argentine football superstar Lionel Messi has been in the headlines of late. Although he keeps making headlines throughout with his captivating gameplay, this time, it happens to be regarding his future with Barcelona.

Since last year, it has been reported that Messi is on the verge of leaving Barca owing to the poor form the side is enduring of late, besides having unstable management. Furthermore, he is yet to renew his contract that comes to an end after the ongoing season.

On the same note, Messi has been linked to two of the top clubs, Manchester City and Paris Saint-Germain. However, the latter seems to be adamant in landing the Argentine at the French capital.

According to a report by TNT Sports Brazil, PSG has a whopping two-year deal for Messi. Although there is no further detail available on the same, the contract is set to be unmatchable by any club in the world.

The deal should not come as a surprise, considering that PSG managed to land in Neymar from Barca for a record transfer fee of €222 million. Furthermore, the Brazilan has time and again expressed his interest to reunite with the Argentine, be it at Camp Nou or in Paris.

Meanwhile, Barca is not leaving things alone, as it is too preparing a mega offer for Messi. As per TV3, the Catalan is looking to offer a long ten-year deal to stay at Camp Nou, besides including the clause of playing a couple of seasons in Major League Soccer of the United States of America.

Messi has time and again expressed interest in playing in MLS while being linked with David Beckham's Inter Miami. However, the reported ten-year deal by Barca sounds ridiculous, considering that the 33-year-old is unlikely to play that long but can continue at the club in some other role.
