August of the summer of 2021 will always be remembered in the history of Barcelona, as it was then that Lionel Messi announced that he would leave after a 21-year association with the club.

Afterwards, the Argentine signed a contract with Paris Saint-Germain, where he is currently.

However, things could have been different. Inter vice-president Javier Zanetti revealed his compatriot could have moved to Guiseppe Meazza before PSG secured his signature.

“I was surprised when he left Barcelona. Realistically, we can’t compete with PSG or Premier League clubs, but because of our relationship, we talked when there was an opportunity,” he told DAZN.

Messi’s contract with PSG expires at the end of this season and it is still unknown what his future will be.

Until now, it is known that the French champions are in talks with the seven-time “Golden Ball” winner for the extension of his contract.
