World Cup star, Lionel Messi has agreed to stay at Paris Saint-Germain, local media made this known on Wednesday, as he attempts to steer the French side to an elusive Champions League title.

The 35-year-old, who led Argentina to victory in the World Cup final against France in Qatar last weekend, will sign a one-season extension to his current deal in the French capital which expires in the summer.
