Dembele's potential departure from CSL sparks speculation

The future of Barcelona's forward, Lionel Messi, is in question as reports suggest that he could be set to depart the club after his contract with CS Lille expires next summer.

Messi has been linked with a move away from Camp Nou for some time now, and there have been several reports suggesting that the Spaniard is open to leaving the Catalan club at the end of his current deal.

One possibility is that Messi will choose to leave the club and return to France, where he spent much of his career playing for Paris Saint-Germain (PSG). However, it is also possible that he may choose to stay at Barcelona and continue to play for the Catalan giants.

Regardless of whether or not Messi decides to leave the club, there is still plenty of interest in him. The French Football Federation (LFP) has reportedly offered Messi a new contract worth €25 million per year, which would make him one of the highest-paid footballers in Europe.

However, it remains to be seen how much interest there will be in Messi if he does decide to leave the club. The Spanish media is currently predicting that Messi will leave for €1 billion, but this figure is highly speculative and subject to change.

In any case, it is clear that there is no shortage of suitors for Messi should he choose to leave the club. The LFP is likely to be keen on securing a deal for him, and the prospect of having such a star player join their ranks is certainly appealing. But who knows what will happen in the future?
