Lionel Messi has confirmed that he will remain at Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) next season, despite reports suggesting otherwise.

The Argentina forward has been linked with a move to Manchester United or Barcelona in recent weeks, but PSG have made it clear that they want him to stay and continue his successful career in France.

In an interview with French media outlet RMC Sport, Messi said: "I'm happy here. I've always wanted to play in the Ligue 1, and I feel very comfortable in this league."

He added: "My aim is to help PSG win more titles next season. We're a strong team, and we have the potential to do great things together."

Messi's decision to stay at PSG comes after a difficult period for the club, which saw them struggle to compete for major honours under coach Mauricio Pochettino. However, the Argentine star has played a crucial role in helping PSG reach the semi-finals of the Champions League last season and secure their place in the Europa League this year.

Despite the challenges facing PSG in recent years, Messi remains one of the most talented players in world football and is widely regarded as one of the greatest ever to grace the sport. His commitment to staying at PSG shows just how much he values his time in France and his desire to continue playing at the highest level.
