Paris Saint-Germain will reportedly resume contract talks with Lionel Messi when he returns from the World Cup in Qatar.
The 35-year-old has been in impressive form this season, scoring 12 goals and providing 14 assists in his 19 appearances.
With Messi's contract set to expire next summer, the French champions are keen to agree an extension following rumours of a possible return to Barcelona.
According to the Daily Mail, PSG will pause contract negotiations until Messi returns from representing Argentina at the World Cup.
The report claims that PSG are looking to offer Messi a new two-year deal in a bid to ward off interest from his former side.
Barcelona club president Joan Laporta recently refused to rule out a return for Messi, who scored 672 goals and registered 302 assists in 777 appearances for the Catalan giants.
