World Cup winner and Argentina national team Captain Lionel Messi has reached a deal with Paris St Germain to stay with the club for at least the 2023-24 season, a French daily reported.

The seven-times winner of the Ballon D'Or, Messi helped Argentina lift the World Cup trophy by beating France on penalties. "In early December, in the midst of the World Cup, an agreement was reached (for Messi) to stay on for at least one more season," Reuters reported quoting a French daily.

PSG was not immediately available for comment. Paris St Germain President Nasser Al-Khelaifi said this month that Messi was happy at the Ligue 1 champions, adding that discussions about a contract extension would be held after the World Cup. Reuters reported. Messi, who has 12 goals and 14 assists for PSG in all competitions this season, moved to the French capital from Barcelona in 2021 on a two-year contract, the publication reported.
