Lionel Messi is set to leave Parisienne club PSG at the end of the season.
According to Italian journalist Fabrizio Romano, Lionel Messi’s father Jorge informed PSG of the decision to leave the Ligue 1 giants once his contract expires in the summer.
Romano stated, “there are ‘no doubts’ that Messi will depart the Ligue 1 side at the end of the season. It is understood that his father told PSG that a decision had been made last month ‘due to the project’. This was the final breaking point.”
PSG handed the 35-year-old a two-week suspension after he embarked on a commercial trip to Saudi Arabia without permission. This incident has strained Lionel Messi’s relationship with the Ligue 1 side, and he was absent from training on Monday.
It remains unclear where Lionel Messi will go next, but he has been linked with a move back to FC Barcelona.
Also there have been rumours that Inter Miami may be interested in the Argentine. Inter Miami owned by David Beckham.
Saudi side Al Hilal is also rumoured to have tabled an offer of around 400m per season to sign the Argentine. Messi had previously signed a £25m-a-year deal with Saudi Arabia to become the country’s tourism ambassador.
