Lionel Messi, a PSG superstar, may not play for Barcelona again
The superstar of Paris Saint-Germain (PSG), Lionel Messi, may not be able to play for Barcelona again since his father is lobbying for him to relocate to Saudi Arabia, claims La Porteria.
At the conclusion of the current campaign, Messi’s contract with the Parisian team expires. The 2022 FIFA World Cup champion will quit when his contract expires, according to Fabrizio Romano.
His return to Barcelona has received a lot of media attention. The most recent story claims that Lionel Messi’s father Jorge is pushing for a relocation to the Middle East, putting the possibility of his comeback into doubt.
Al-Hilal of the Saudi Pro League is reportedly offering Lionel Messi £320 million per year. The Argentine’s rivalry with Al-Nassr player Cristiano Ronaldo will rekindle with his move to Saudi Arabia.
The father of PSG superstar Lionel Messi earlier refuted Saudi Arabia charges
As гᴜмогs about Lionel Messi’s likely future location reached a fever pitch, his father intervened on Tuesday to clarify that no agreement had been reached regarding a transfer to Saudi Arabia or a return to Barcelona.
There will be no decisions made prior to Paris Saint-Germain’s season ending on June 3rd, according to Messi’s father Jorge Messi. Messi’s contract with PSG extends through the end of June.
There have been гᴜмогs that Lionel Messi, the star player for PSG, has already decided to join the Saudi Arabian team Al-Hilal. However, Jorge Messi strongly refuted those charges in a statement.
He stated that Messi has not yet signed a contract with a club about his future and that the reports are untrue. The senior Messi’s remark was as follows (through Fabrizio Romano on Twitter):
“There are always гᴜмогs and many use the 𝚗аме of Lionel to gain notoriety but there’s only one тгᴜтҺ and we can assure you that there is nothing with anyone,” Jorge Messi posted on his Instagram account. “Neither verbal, nor signed, nor agreed, and there won’t be anything until the end of the season.”
“There’s absolutely NOTHING agreed with any club for next season. We won’t do anything now — and we will decide at the end of the current season… I can guarantee that it will never be decided before the end of current season with Paris Saint-Germain.”
He added:
“Leo Messi’s 𝚗аме is always used around — but we can guarantee that there’s NOTHING signed, agreed or even verbally agreed and it won’t happen now… It’s full of fake news around with no proof of what these ‘media’ ꜱаy in public to invent stories and with zero respect — why don’t they check their news?”
According to prior reports in French media, Messi has a verbal agreement with an undisclosed Saudi club, which would put him back on par with Cristiano Ronaldo. However, one expert on soccer transfer гᴜмогs, Fabrizio Romano, quickly informed his 14.6 million Twitter followers that a decision wouldn’t be made until after the season.
Despite being 35 years old, Lionel Messi is still a fantastic athlete. Any club’s profile will be raised in terms of brand and sponsorships by adding the Argentine. It will be interesting to watch where the Argentine ends up.
