However, when asked if a move to PSG will be his next move, Messi told reporters during his farewell speech to Barcelona at a press conference in Spain on Sunday: "That is one possibility, to reach those heights.

"I've got nothing confirmed with anybody. I had a lot of calls, a lot of interested clubs.

"At the moment, nothing is closed, but we are talking about a lot of things."
