Lionel Messi will leave Barcelona on a free transfer next summer to join Paris Saint-Germain, according to journalist Daniel Riolo.
The 33-year-old's future at Camp Nou remains the subject of much speculation as his contract with the Catalan giants is due to expire in June 2021.
Manchester City continue to be credited with an interest in the Argentina international, but PSG have also been mentioned as potential suitors since Messi signalled a desire to seek pastures new.
Neymar revealed after Wednesday's Champions League win over Manchester United that he is desperate to reunite with his fellow South American "next season", while PSG midfielder Leandro Paredes has also talked up a potential switch to the French capital.
RMC Sport pundit Riolo has now insisted that the Barca attacker, who has scored seven times and registered four assists in 12 club outings this term, will join Thomas Tuchel's side next summer.
"Lionel Messi will be at PSG next year. I am being very serious. Messi will be at PSG next year," said the journalist.
Barca's interim president Carlos Tusquets has claimed that the club should have sold Messi during the recent transfer window after he expressed his desire to leave.
Leandro Paredes: 'We all want Lionel Messi at Paris Saint-Germain'

Midfielder Leandro Paredes has called on Paris Saint-Germain to make an approach for Barcelona forward Lionel Messi.
With his contract due to expire next summer, the 33-year-old is currently in a position where he can hold discussions with foreign clubs in January.
Manchester City, managed by Messi's former boss Pep Guardiola, remain as favourites to get a deal over the line for the Argentine superstar.
However, speaking after PSG's win over Manchester United in the Champions League, Paredes acknowledged that he would like to see his compatriot at Parc des Princes.
Paredes is quoted by The Mirror as saying: "What I want the most is to enjoy playing with him again. He can play in my role, it wouldn't be a problem with me. For sure, next year we have to do it."
Neymar has also revealed that he wants to play with his former Barca teammate during the 2021-22 campaign.
