On the evening of June 1 (Hanoi time), coach Christopher Galtier confirmed that Lionel Messi will no longer be with PSG after this season ends.
"I have the honor of coaching the best player in football history. The match against Clermont (June 4) will be Leo's last match at the Parc des Princes," coach Galtier announced at a press conference before the match.
Transfer expert Fabrizio Romano added: "Messi's departure from PSG has been planned. Leo's father, Jorge, told PSG more than a month ago. Messi will soon announce his next destination."
According to Mundo Deportivo, the 2022 World Cup winner refused to renew his contract with the Ligue 1 club after the team's defeat to Bayern Munich in the Champions League. Messi was once protested by PSG fans when he and his family traveled to Saudi Arabia to take on the role of tourism ambassador for the country.
On May 28, "El Pulga" did not attend the Ligue 1 awards ceremony to attend a private matter in Barcelona. Spanish media reported that Messi had pre-registered his three sons to attend a school in Barcelona.
Revelo revealed that a school in Castelldefels, a town on the outskirts of Barcelona, has received an application from Messi. The 2022 World Cup winner wants to "reserve places" for Thiago, Mateo and Ciro to study in Castelldefels next school year.
Messi's future has been a hot topic recently. Inter Miami, Al Hilal and Barca are the three clubs most determined to pursue the 35-year-old superstar. Al Hilal is said to have sent Messi an invitation to play in Saudi Arabia with an income of 1.2 billion euros for two seasons, three times higher than Cristiano Ronaldo's current income at Al Nassr.
Messi's father expressed interest in the offer from the Middle East, but Leo himself still has the intention of returning to Barca. The Catalan club is still waiting for the move from the La Liga organization to know if they have enough financial conditions to recruit Messi or not.
As for PSG, they plan to recruit midfielder Bernardo Silva to rebuild their attack this summer. Advisor Luis Campos sees Silva as an ideal replacement for Leo. This player can play well on the wing or in the middle. He is also very knowledgeable about Ligue 1.
