This has led to numerous reports that Messi is deeply unhappy at PSG and wants to return to Barcelona.
And the player himself only exacerbated such talk while on international duty with Argentina.
“I don't know what I will do after the World Cup. I am thinking about what is coming,” Messi told reporters when asked about his club future.
“After Qatar I will have to reassess many things.”
Messi scored for Argentina in a 3-0 win over Venezuela in World Cup qualifying on Saturday.
Argentina have already qualified for this November’s World Cup in Qatar, with Messi hoping to win the one major trophy that has eluded him in his career so far.
