The short trip to Saudi Arabia not only led to Messi’s suspension, but also to a rethinking of the PSG club bosses.
WHAT HAPPENED? Paris Saint-Germain will reportedly not extend Lionel Messi’s contract, which expires at the end of the season. This is reported by the French sports newspaper The Team. The capital club had the option of drawing a clause for the Argentine’s third season at PSG but have now apparently decided against it.
WHAT IS THE BACKGROUND? Messi traveled to Saudi Arabia after PSG’s 3-1 defeat by Lorient on Sunday. It is believed that Messi made the trip as part of his duties as the Gulf country’s tourism ambassador.
However, on Tuesday it was announced that the trip had not been approved by the club. That’s why the Argentine was punished with a two-week suspension without pay – and PSG have now finally decided to let Messi go in the summer, according to the report.

WHAT’S NEXT? As a result of his two-week ban, Messi will only play three more games in the PSG shirt. The latest developments should give Barcelona hope of re-signing the Argentina international. Other interested parties are said to be MLS club Inter Miami and Saudi club Al-Hilal.
A LOOK AT THE NUMBERS: In his two years at PSG, Messi has 31 goals and 34 assists in 71 competitive games for the French capital club.
