Lionel Messi to leave PSG at end of season, father Jorge communicates decision
Lionel Messi is set to leave Paris Saint-Germain according to the latest reports as the star Argentina player nears the end of his two-year contract. Messi’s father Jorge is reported to have told the club about his son’s desire to leave the French capital. It is also reported that the decision was conveyed a month ago by Messi’s father and will now seek a new club, just months after winning the FIFA World Cup in Qatar in 2022.
“Messi will leave Paris Saint-Germain at the end of the season. There are no doubts about that anymore.
“Behind the scenes, it’s now understood that Leo’s father Jorge communicated the decision to PSG already one month ago due to the project.
“It was the final breaking point,” reported reliable football journalist Fabrizio Romano.
Lionel Messi's future at PSG was plunged into doubt on Wednesday after he was suspended by Paris Saint-Germain after travelling to Saudi Arabia without the club's permission.
