Paris Saint-Germain sporting director Leonardo Araujo has commented on the rumours surrounding Lionel Messi possibly joining his club, confirming that they are “following his file closely”.
Messi sent the entire footballing world into chaos last summer after he submitted a transfer request away from Barcelona, having been at the club since his youth days in 2001. However, following a stand off with former president Josep Maria Bartomeu, he was forced to stay at the Camp Nou.
During the summer, several clubs were linked with a move for the six-time Ballon d’Or winner, most notably Manchester City and Paris Saint-Germain.
