Recently, the Spanish media exposed a breaking news: 35-year-old Argentine soccer superstar Mez surprisingly refused the Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) proposed to reduce the salary of the contract renewal program. With his contract due to expire this summer, Mez's choice will undoubtedly trigger a battle between the giants.
Back on the eve of last year's World Cup, there were rumors that Mays had agreed to a one-year contract extension with PSG. However, with the rich French soccer club bound by fair financial regulations that require players to take a 30% pay cut as a whole, the club expected Mays to ride out the storm with the team. However, the shot-stopper flatly refused, leading to a stalemate in the contract extension talks.
In fact, despite his advanced age, Mays still maintains an extremely high level of competitiveness. This season, he made 28 appearances for PSG, contributing 17 goals and 16 assists. Last December, he also helped Argentina win the World Cup and was elected World Footballer of the Year. In the face of such achievements, there seems to be nothing wrong with refusing to take a pay cut.
It is rumored that many football clubs have been secretly coveting Mays, including his parent club Barcelona and American professional team International Miami. However, given Barcelona's financial woes, it is feared that they will not be able to afford to pay Misi's salary. He has no intention of leaving Europe, so the likelihood of him playing in the USL is slim to none.
Throw in PSG, and probably only European giants with strong credentials like Chelsea, Manchester City, and Bayern Munich have the power to sign Mays.
