In an interview with 20 Minutes.fr, Zlatan Ibrahimovic, the star player of Paris Saint-Germain (PSG), addressed the rumors surrounding Lionel Messi’s potential move to PSG. Ibrahimovic emphasized the global representation of PSG, given the club’s Qatari owners, and acknowledged the team’s role as a showcase for Qatar around the world. When asked about Messi, Ibrahimovic stated that if Messi were on the market, there would be interest from clubs worldwide, not just PSG. He expressed uncertainty about Messi’s situation but mentioned that PSG’s project is to “dream bigger,” and signing Messi would mean being “bigger,” not just dreaming bigger.
While the idea of Messi leaving FC Barcelona, his longtime club, has sparked speculation, Ibrahimovic acknowledged the uncertainty surrounding the situation and highlighted that only Messi knows the reality of his circumstances. Messi, who has won numerous titles with Barcelona, is often linked to PSG due to the club’s ambitious goals and financial capabilities. However, Messi is under contract with Barcelona until 2018, and his potential departure remains a topic of speculation.
