Rumour Has It: Beckham in talks with Messi over MLS move, Man City must up Kane bid

Lionel Messi was the topic of plenty of speculation in recent weeks before inking a two-year deal with Paris Saint-Germain.

The 34-year-old left Barcelona as a free agent after two decades with the Catalan club, unable to stay despite wanting to continue his career there.

But rumours are swirling already about Messi’s next move after PSG, even though he has yet to even make his debut for the Ligue 1 side.
