Club football returns this weekend and, with it, the rumours surrounding the 2022 FIFA World Cup winner's future in France.
It is well known that Messi's contract at the French giants runs out at the end of the campaign, leaving many wondering where he will be playing his football next season.
Reports suggest the seven-time Ballon d'Or winner is nowhere near an agreement over a renewal in Paris amid chatter he could take his career elsewhere.
Saudi Arabia and the United States have been tipped as potential destinations for Messi, although talk that a return to Barcelona is on the cards appears to be hotter than ever.
In Spain, publications continue to suggest the Catalan giants are set to try to re-sign their all-time record goalscorer if they feel a deal is financially realistic.
According to Barcelona-based journalist Gerard Romero, meanwhile, Messi is open to a switch back to Catalonia and is even willing to accept a pay cut to make it happen.
This is likely to mean the Blaugrana will do everything possible to be able to meet Messi halfway, although their economic issues could ultimately prevent a deal from materialising.
Since joining PSG as a free agent in 2021, the forward has contributed to 61 goals in 66 club matches across all competitions.
