Paris Saint-Germain are not prepared to prioritise a move for Barcelona talisman Lionel Messi, according to a report.
The Argentine's contract situation at Camp Nou is yet to be resolved, and as things stand he will be able to walk away for free in two months' time.
PSG and Manchester City are thought to be the only two sides capable of pulling off a deal for Messi should he leave Barca this summer, although a recent report claimed that the six-time Ballon d'Or winner is indeed close to penning a new 10-year deal with the Blaugrana.
As a result, L'Equipe claims that PSG will focus their attention on their own players rather than trying to sign the Barca attacker, as they are yet to tie Neymar or Kylian Mbappe down to new deals.
Neymar has affirmed that a new contract at the Parc des Princes is in the works, and the report adds that PSG will now put all their time and energy into negotiations over Mbappe's deal, with the 22-year-old set to become a free agent in 2022.
Barca manager Ronald Koeman has insisted that he is not worried about Messi's future, and the 33-year-old is supposedly willing to take a pay cut in order to aid a summer move for Erling Braut Haaland.
