Recent reports have linked Lionel Messi with a move to PSG and Barcelona legend Rivaldo has shared his thoughts on the matter.
Neymar might be pushing for a reunion with Messi publicly because he might be aware of something going on in the background, says Rivaldo.
Speculation continues to grow regarding the future of the six-time Ballon d’Or winner.
Having seen efforts to secure a switch over the summer blocked off, Messi has committed to honoring the final year of his contract at Barca.
The Argentine is now allowed to speak to clubs from January and a number of clubs could consider a marquee move for the Barcelona captain. Manchester City are among the sides in the running but recent events have put PSG as frontrunners for his signature.
Ex-Barca man Neymar has led calls for his former teammate to join him at Parc des Princes.
Rivaldo has shared his thoughts on the speculation and believes there is a chance Neymar could indeed get his wish.
“After the match [against Manchester United], Neymar said he would love to partner with Lionel Messi again and talked up the possibility of that happening next season,” Rivaldo told Betfair.
“They are friends and chat a lot. Knowing about Messi’s contract expiring with Barcelona, I believe that the Brazilian star may press his club to sign him next season.”
“Messi will be free to negotiate with another club from January, so it’s possible that he may move to France.”
“Messi seems to be looking for a new adventure in his career and PSG are aware that they won’t need to pay anything to Barcelona to get him. The French club could be preparing a move to sign the Argentinian star to partner with Neymar.”
“It would be great to see them playing together again and I don’t think Neymar’s comments were an accident. Perhaps he already knows PSG are talking with Messi.”
