Despite the denial of Paris Saint-Germain after the announcement of Christophe Galtier, Lionel Messi should leave at the end of the contract this summer. Several destinations are listed for the future of the Argentinian who does not seem to be considering a move to Serie A. In any case, Italy absolutely does not believe in it.
As announced by Christophe Galtier, Lionel Messi should play his last match with Paris Saint-Germain on Saturday against Clermont. The club of the capital has certainly corrected the remarks of its coach in stride. But the playmaker is heading well towards a departure at the end of the contract this summer. It remains to be seen where the seven-time Ballon d’Or will land. The question arouses the curiosity of many football lovers all over the world, and especially in Italy. On the other side of the Alps, bookmakers have fun organizing bets on the future destination of Lionel Messi.

We obviously find FC Barcelona in the lead, the Catalan club having publicly announced its intentions on many occasions in recent weeks. The Italians also do not rule out the possibility of seeing the Pulga extend his contract at Paris Saint-Germain. Nor that of a return to basics with a last adventure in Argentina. On the other hand, the transalpine bookmakers are much more pessimistic about a possible passage of Lionel Messi in Serie A.
Italy out of the race
If residents of the Premier League obtain relatively high ratings, like Chelsea (33), Manchester City (50) and Manchester United (75), those of Italian teams are much higher. The Tuttomercatoweb media relays a rating of 100 for Naples, if only to imagine the Parisian wearing the same shirt as his late compatriot Diego Maradona. As for Juventus Turin, Inter Milan and AC Milan, the number 300 reflects the impossibility for them to attract Lionel Messi.
