Neymar and Di Maria call Messi to persuade him to join PSG

There is serious interest in Lionel Messi from Paris Saint-Germain, so much so that Neymar and Angel Di Maria have been in touch with the Blaugrana captain.

Sporting director Leonardo has already met with the Argentine's representatives to talk about the project in Paris.

For the moment, Messi would prefer to join Manchester City, but that's not stopping PSG's players from trying to convince him otherwise.

According to Le Parisien, Neymar and Di Maria have made contact with their good friend in an attempt to persuade him to move to the Parc des Princes.

The pair have played with Messi for club and country, and their presence in the PSG dressing room would make it easy for the forward to settle in should he move there.
