Messi has informed FC Barcelona about his decision about wanting to leave before the start of the 2020/2021 season, with the forward reportedly frustrated with club management.
Since the news broke earlier this week, Manchester City have reportedly been tipped as the main destination for the six-time Ballon d'Or winner.
However, former PSG midfielder Fabrice Pancrate feels the Barcelona captain could be on his way to the French capital and could have some high-profile additions next year.
"I'll tell you what I think. Beyond the city itself – because Manchester is ugly, it's grey, it's raining – there are plenty of things that make me say that Messi is going to Paris," Pancrate told Le Parisien.
"And Ronaldo will join him in 2021. And Guardiola too.
"I think Guardiola and Messi have spoken to each other before. Guardiola must have told him: 'We're going to mix things up. I want you in Manchester, but go to Paris and don't worry, next year I'll join you there.'
"I see it like that. And there, the slogan of PSG – 'let's dream bigger' – it makes perfect sense!"
