A surprising development in Paris Saint-Germain’s position on the departure of Lionel Messi
News continues about the future of Argentine Lionel Messi, the Paris Saint-Germain player, as his trip to Saudi Arabia, which sparked a crisis between him and his club, may be the key to his continuation in Paris.
A crisis arose between Leo and his club after a “promotional” family trip for the Argentine captain to Saudi Arabia, a day after his team lost from Lorient in the French League.
The crisis ended with Lionel Messi’s apology to his teammates and club in a videotape; Although he was excluded from the team’s list for the Troyes match today, Sunday, his apology may be a reason for his continuation with Paris.
According to the English newspaper “The Times”, Paris Saint-Germain did not completely close the door in the face of Lionel Messi, whose contract with them expires at the end of the current season. Rather, his apology may restore relations with his club, which hopes to open negotiations with him again to keep him in the French capital.
Paris negotiations with Messi did not succeed before in renewing his contract with the team he moved to two years ago after the end of his contract with Barcelona, who wants to return his historic scorer, but he is waiting for whether he will succeed in registering him or not amid an ongoing financial crisis in the Catalan club that was a reason forcing Leo to leave earlier.
Paris and Barcelona face competition for Messi from a number of clubs, led by Inter Miami and Saudi Arabia’s Al Hilal.
