The biggest football news of the summer is undoubtedly Lionel Messi’s departure from Barcelona. Widely considered the greatest footballer currently playing, rumors suggest he’ll sign for PSG this week. It’s got FIFA 21 Ultimate Team players wondering whether EA will release a new upgraded Messi card for his new team – or if they’ll have to wait until FIFA 22 to try out the card. We’ve got all the details so far on the Messi PSG FUT card in FIFA 21.
Will there be a Messi PSG FIFA 21 card?
Currently, there are no confirmed plans to introduce a Messi PSG card in FIFA 21. That’s partly because the move hasn’t been officially announced yet. It looks set to go through this week – and from there, EA will announce if we’re getting a card.
Usually, EA tend to reserve the big summer signings to debut in the next iteration of Ultimate Team. In this case, that would be FIFA 22. However, the Messi to PSG signing is much more noteworthy than most transfers. This might persuade the company to add him to this game. Other summer signings from this window, such as Jadon Sancho to Manchester United, haven’t been added to the game’s database yet.
However, there is some hope, as other recent PSG signings have received new cards in FIFA 21 Ultimate Team. A noteworthy case is Georginio Wijnaldum, who moved from Liverpool to PSG earlier last month. He’s got a new FUT card attached to his new team – so it seems very likely that Messi will get the same treatment.
As Messi is one of the most popular players in football, it seems very unlikely that EA wouldn’t try and capitalize with a promotional event in FIFA 21. Therefore, it’s a good idea to keep your eyes peeled: he might be coming soon.
