“We are in talks. I cannot hide that I would like to have him in this project and that he can continue with us,” said the Portuguese leader in an interview with the Téléfoot program on the French channel TF1.
“I would be happy if it continues, but we are in talks at the moment to try to reach the goal, to continue having Leo Messi with us,” he added.
At 35, the seven-time Ballon d’Or winner must decide on his future, a few weeks after finally achieving the goal he sought throughout his career, the world champion title with Argentina, in Qatar 2022.
Messi had arrived at Paris SG in 2021 for two seasons (plus one as an option), after having spent his entire professional career at FC Barcelona.
Campos celebrated the involvement of the Argentine striker in the Parisian project, citing as an example his performance in Montpellier, on Wednesday in Ligue 1 (3-1 victory, with a goal from Messi).
“At the break, I told him: +Leo you have to drag the others with you+, and he told me: +calm+, and then he did an exceptional second half of the game,” said the PSG sports advisor.
