Speculation continues to grow about Lionel Messi, and former PSG star Omar da Fonseca can see La Pulga headed for France.

Former PSG star Omar da Fonseca says Lionel Messi will embrace the challenge of moving to France and joining Ligue 1 giants PSG.

A six-time Ballon d’Or winner continues to leave everyone wondering regarding his future plans.

Messi pushed for the exit door at Camp Nou last summer before he eventually agreed to honor the final 12 months of his contract.

As it stands, the Catalans have failed to hit any breakthrough with their captain, and that means the 33-year-old continues to head towards the free-agent pool.

Should Messi decide to leave Barcelona in the summer, only a very few sides would be able to take on the financial requirements that would come with signing the Argentine.

PSG are one of such clubs that can fit the above description, and the Ligue 1 side have been heavily linked with the Barca star over the past few weeks.

Over the past two months, Neymar, Paredes, and a couple of other PSG stars have all admitted they would love to see Messi join them in France.

Just yesterday, reports fueled the Barca star could be headed for PSG after it was claimed that he has started learning French.

While speculation continues to grow, fellow compatriot and former PSG man can see Messi moving to Paris in the summer.

Quizzed by AfterFoot on whether Messi could join PSG, Omar da Fonseca said: “Yes. If we look at the Spanish press, they say that his whole family began to learn French.”

“He will come, he will set himself that challenge. Imagine saying that with PSG he won the Champions League.”

“If someone had told me as a child that he was going to play in Paris, my ears would have cried!”

“For us [Argentines], France, Paris, they have something.”
