Football Espana: Barcelona 'annoyed' by PSG's strategy of chasing Messi

The Catalans are reportedly starting to feel annoyed by PSG's 'strategy of public pressure' of Messi.

Barcelona are 'annoyed' by Paris Saint-Germain's attempts to lure Lionel Messi to Parc des Princes, according to Sport (via Football Espana).

The Argentine won't renew with the Catalans until the end of the season.

Thus, the Parisians have started a 'strategy of public pressure' of the 33-year-old.

PSG's new head coach Mauricio Pochettino made his side's interest in Messi public earlier this month.

The Ligue 1 club's sporting director Leonardo also opened the door for Leo's move to Paris on Monday.

The Parisians used the same strategy to lure Neymar to Parc des Princes before signing the Brazilian for €222m in 2017.

Messi, meanwhile, remains focused on finishing the season with Blaugrana.
