Paris Saint-Germain president Nasser Al-Khelaifi has
stated Lionel Messi will never join the club because of "limits".
The wealthy French champions have brought the likes of
Zlatan Ibrahimovic, Edinson Cavani and Javier Pastore to the Parc des Princes
in recent years and have also been linked with the Barcelona forward.
Despite overseeing a number of big-name signings since
his takeover, Al-Khelaifi believes PSG cannot hope to bring in Messi.
"Is there a chance for Messi to join PSG? No, never.
If there were no limits at PSG, then we would sign Messi," he told
L'Equipe.
"If Messi doesn't join PSG, then that means that
there are limits."
Al-Khelaifi also issued a warning to clubs interested in
signing PSG players, highlighting reported links between Manchester City and
midfielder Blaise Matuidi.
"Interest from Manchester City in Matuidi? I am not
worried because they know that if they touch one of our players, then we will
be in opposition to them, and we will go and contact their players too,"
he added.
"We respect all clubs, but if a club tries to buy
one of our players, then it will have to face consequences.
"I don't aim this at Manchester City, as from what I
know, they did not contact Matuidi."
