´Yet another invention!´ – Messi´s father dismisses latest Paris Saint-Germain speculation

Barcelona forward Lionel Messi’s father and agent Jorge has categorically denied meeting with Paris Saint-Germain officials.

The six-time Ballon d’Or winner’s future has been a hot topic of debate since trying to secure a move away from Camp Nou in the close season.

Barca blocked Messi’s exit but he is due to become a free agent at the end of the campaign and has been strongly linked with the likes of Manchester City, Inter and PSG.

Spanish outlet El Chiringuito claimed on Monday that PSG are the frontrunners to sign the 33-year-old after holding talks with Jorge at the Qatari consulate in Barcelona last week.

Jorge hit out at similar suggestions in November and was quick to dismiss the latest reports in an Instagram post.

“False. Yet another invention,” he posted over a screenshot of the transfer rumour. “I’ve been in Argentina since September. #Fakenews.”
