• Lionel Messi has previously admitted he wants to play alongside Cristiano Ronaldo in the future
• The 35-year-old is out of contract at PSG at the end of the season but talks have taken place
• Messi has been reluctant to pen a new deal, fuelling speculation of his impending departure

Paris Saint-Lionel superstar, Lionel Messi had previously admitted that he would love to play alongside Cristiano Ronaldo.

The Argentine has entered the final few months of his current PSG deal, thus making him eligible to speak with any club.

Despite the likelihood of the world champion moving away from Paris, his current employers - PSG - are keen on tying Messi down.

PSG are proposing a one-year renewal for Messi although the World Cup winner is also being courted by his former club, Barcelona and MLS side, Inter Miami.

The seven-time Ballon d'Or winner has another option: to move to the Saudi Pro League where Cristiano Ronaldo plays.

The Argentine magician has previously admitted he would like to play alongside the 38-year-old Portuguese veteran.

Back in 2015, Messi was asked by the Associated Press if he would like to be in the same team as Ronaldo.

"Yes, of course. I always like to play with the best, and he is one of them. I think it will be difficult for us to play in the same team, but obviously I would like to," Messi said via Mirror Sports.

"I was lucky enough to play and participate with many very good players and, obviously, I would also like to do it with him."

The seven-time Ballon d’Or winner has reportedly received offers from across Europe and will study them soon, before making a decision on his future.
