PSG has decided to strike hard and this will not remain without consequence. For leaving for Saudi Arabia without the club’s agreement after Sunday’s defeat against Lorient (1-3), Lionel Messi received a sanction from his leaders who informed him on Tuesday evening of his suspended for several days. The seven-time Ballon d’Or will not only be deprived of training with the rest of the team, but he will also miss the trip to Troyes on Sunday May 7, and probably the reception of AC Ajaccio on Saturday May 13.
The divorce between Paris and the Argentinian seems consummated and in the upper echelons of PSG it now seems clear that the adventure, which began in August 2021, will end at the end of the season. While the trend was still for a contract extension a few weeks ago and Messi had given his agreement in principle on the sidelines of the World Cup, exchanges have been complicated for a while between the different parties. In question, in particular, the salary demands of the 35-year-old player.
The controversial trip to Saudi Arabia and his absence from training on Monday have obviously finished convincing the Paris-Saint-Germain decision-makers who no longer imagine continuing with the Pulga. Not so long ago, however, Luis Campos let his interlocutors know for the next transfer window that he was waiting for a decision from his management, in particular concerning the future of Messi, to move forward on certain tracks. This time he would have his answer. As L’Équipe announced on Tuesday evening, PSG have taken action on the idea that the former Barcelona player will no longer wear the Parisian jersey next season.
If for the moment neither party has officially verbalized the thing, Lionel Messi’s contract will not extend beyond June 30, 2023. At PSG, it is estimated that this decision reinforces the club’s new policy, eager to privilege the state of mind to the CVs of recruits.
