Controversy is the order of the day when it comes to Paris Saint-Germain (PSG), and it is that the Parisian club has raised doubts about the departure of Leo Messi after refuting the statements of coach Christophe Galtier, stating that he had “wrongly expressed” when he said that this Saturday will be the last game of the Argentine in the Parque de los Príncipes.
This Wednesday afternoon, Galtier praised ‘La Pulga’ and took the opportunity to confirm what was a rumor, that the player would leave the team at the end of the season. “I had the privilege of directing the best player in the history of football. Tomorrow will be his last game in Parque de los Príncipes and I hope it will be received in the best way”, he said.
Given this, PSG sources told the EFE news agency that the coach was wrong in his statements and claimed that he meant that it was the Argentine’s last game in the Parque de los Príncipes, but “this season”. However, the French team also did not say that the player will stay.
Leo Messi’s situation in the Parisian team has taken an unexpected turn since the forward won the Qatar 2022 World Cup with the Argentina team, at that time it was thought that he was going to exercise the option of one more year that he has in his contract, something that never happened.
Now, the Argentine is torn between various offers to continue his football career, the first of which is the option to return to FC Barcelona, where he would be led by his former teammate and friend Xavi Hernández, who has also expressed that he has him for the next course.
On the other hand, the seven-time Ballon d’Or winner is being tempted by soccer in Saudi Arabia, where he has been offered a two-year contract in which he would earn $500 million dollars per year. Likewise, there is the interest of David Beckham’s Inter Miami in MLS.
