It has just been reported that Lionel Messi, widely considered the best player in the world, will be leaving Paris Saint-Germain at the end of the season. The Argentine World Cup winner has decided not to renew his contract with PSG, meaning he won’t be staying in France next season.
Why PSG suspended Messi
Lionel Messi, who is a tourism ambassador for Saudi Arabia, has been suspended by Paris Saint-Germain for undertaking an unauthorized trip to Saudi Arabia. Leo had booked a commercial project in Saudi Arabia and had flown there from France after the team’s Monday training session was canceled following their loss to Lorient.
Reports suggest that Messi had requested permission to travel to Saudi Arabia for a commercial project, but PSG denied the request. However, Messi’s agent claims that he was initially granted permission to make the trip, but the club later withdrew it citing a change in their training schedule. Anyway, Messi is now suspended for two weeks, which means Messi can’t train with the team, will not get a salary for two weeks, and can’t play.
Messi will not renew his contract
Lionel Messi’s contract will expire on June 30. However, PSG tried to renew his contract, but Messi took his time. Messi wants to know PSG’s project and plans, but their project doesn’t convince Leo. Finally, the relationship between Messi and PSG has broken with the suspension. As a result, the World Champion will leave the club once his contract expires.
What’s next for Messi?
Barcelona have a dream to bring back Lionel Messi. Leo also wants to rejoin the club. Barca boss Xavi Hernandez has always insisted that he wants Messi back at Barca. But it will not be an easy task for the Spanish club. They have to maintain the FFP rule, which will force them to cut the salary of their players. Therefore, Messi’s return to Barcelona is uncertain.
However, Saudi club Al Hilal have been waiting for Messi for a long time. They made a bid of 400 million Euros last year to sign Messi. They will now push more and more to get the world champion. On the other hand, David Beckham’s club Inter Miami are also desperate to get Messi. They will be in the race for Messi. However, Messi still wants to continue in Europe at least for one more season. Let’s see what happens next with Lionel Messi.
