Lionel Messi 'keeping PSG, Man City waiting over talks'

Lionel Messi has reportedly not entered into any form of discussions with Paris Saint-Germain or Manchester City over a potential switch at the end of the 2020-21 campaign.

The Argentina international's deal with Barcelona is due to expire at the end of June, meaning that he is currently able to discuss a pre-contract with any foreign club.

PSG and City are widely thought to be the two favourites for the 33-year-old, who attempted to leave Camp Nou on a free transfer last summer.

However, according to Goal, Messi is waiting until the end of the season to decide his future and has not had any contact with the French champions or Pep Guardiola's side despite widespread reports.

The South American is allegedly 'tired of the constant media speculation' and wants to finish the campaign with Ronald Koeman's side before making any form of announcement.

Messi has scored 16 times and registered seven assists in 25 appearances for Barca this season, including three goals and two assists in four Champions League outings.
