Transfer SMS: Miami International starts negotiations on Messi s renewal, Dutch Ligue winger may join the Premier League

Messi is about to start contract renewal negotiations

According to the latest reports, Miami International and Messi have started contract renewal negotiations, trying to extend the Argentine star's time to play in the club. Messi joined the FC League team in July 2023 with a two-and-a-half-year contract, which would expire after the end of the 2025 season. Previously, the 38-year-old was rumored to have a sensational return to Barcelona or return to the old boy in Newell - the youth training parent team he played for before joining Barcelona. Before the 2026 World Cup, Messi may think joining a more competitive league is ideal, because higher-level events can help him prepare for the competition better. But American media reported that Miami International is actively negotiating with Messi to renew his contract, which makes his hopes of returning to Europe or South American football are becoming slim.

Paris coach hopes to stay alone

Paris Saint-Germain coach Louis Enrique has confirmed that he looks forward to winger Bradley Bacola staying. Paris Saint-Germain advanced to the semi-finals of the Club World Cup after defeating Bayern Munich 2-0 on Saturday, with Bacola starting as the right winger in this game. The French player plays a key role in the 2024-25 Champions League championship, but it remains suspense whether he can secure the start next season. Paris has stars such as Ottoman Dembele, Desir Due and Kvaratschlia, and Bakora may become a substitute at different stages next season. Despite previous rumors of leaving the team, Enrique told reporters: "We are happy to see the players being watched by other clubs, but he is one of the young players we have long relied on. I hope he can play in Paris for more years." For this attacker, staying in the French capital is quite attractive - Paris Saint-Germain is obviously expected to launch an attack on the Champions League championship again.

The Magpies are interested in Eredivisie champion winger

It is reported that if the two clubs can reach an agreement, Eindhoven winger John Bakayoko may be persuaded to join Newcastle United. The Magpie seems to have failed to sign many highly-watched target players, such as Brian Mbeumo, who prefers to join other teams. It is reported that coach Eddie Howe is still eager to strengthen the offensive end, especially after failing to sign Mbeumo, the right side has become the focus of signing. It is reported that West Ham United's Mohammed Kudus is a potential target for Newcastle, but they will face competition from teams such as Tottenham. British media said the Magpies are interested in Eindhoven striker Bakayoko, who does not rule out the possibility of joining Newcastle - he is eager to play at a higher level. However, the valuation of the Eredivisie teams of £30 million to £40 million may be a trading barrier.
