Lionel Messi has given Paris St Germain an assurance he will sign a new contract with them.

A verbal agreement over an extension for at least one more year is in place with the Argentina World Cup winning captain but nothing has been signed as yet.

Inter Miami had made overtures to sign the 35-year old but he has decided he is not yet ready to move to the MLS.

Messi arrived in Buenos Aires to a hero’s welcome from fanatical Argentine supporters this week but is ready to return to Paris at the end of the month and is happy to continue there.

His club mate Kylian Mbappe returned to training with PSG on Wednesday after the bitter disappointment of France losing the World Cup final on Sunday.

The seven-time Ballon d’Or winner scored six goals and assisted a further three in Qatar on his way to becoming the first player in history to win successive best player awards at the World Cup.
