The Argentine has scored 91 goals in all competitions for Barcelona in the calendar year, but he faces stiff competition from the likes of Iniesta and Cristiano Ronaldo.

The French club PSG has said that they have not had any contact with the Real Madrid attacker Cristiano Ronaldo, who has been linked with a move away from the club in the last few weeks.

The 27-year-old Portuguese international recently said that he was not happy at the club, but he did not disclose any reasons for being unhappy. However, it is primarily thought that Cristiano Ronaldo wants to sign a new contract that would make him the best paid player in the world.
