Well, we all know that Messi does not want to continue at PSG, obviously PSG has a lot of power worldwide, a lot of money, any article that they can filter in the news to justify a possible PSG departure is possible (this is also mere speculation ) now if they say it as a measure to discredit the Argentine national soccer team a bit, it is something else, it is known that in Europe it hurts a lot that France has not won, things can go in that direction, although it is not something very nice, but It is quite possible, players like Messi, CR7 make enemies out of nowhere, just for playing well, sometimes it is to cause more shock or it can be mere envy.
Relationship between Messi and Paris Saint-Germain has been estranged ever since the latter took action over Messi's Saudi trip. PSG officials have also announced that Messi will not be a part of their club after end of this week. What we are not sure is where Messi is moving. There are rumors surrounding three different clubs - Al Hilal is obviously the first and then also Inter Miami and Barcelona. The offer from Al Hilal is reportedly worth some £522million per year, which is almost double the amount Al Nassr paid for Cristiano Ronaldo.
Messi had to choose Paris Saint-Germain for this season mostly because he wanted to get more money and in fact, Messi had to put money as the first priority. In Barcelona they all respect Messi and he was known as a famous player there but just after Messi joined Paris Saint-Germain he was not the only superstar there and he had many other famous players like Mbappe on the team.
Since Messi has chosen Paris Saint-Germain for money once he it was a wrong decision, I think this time he won't make the same mistake again.
Fact is, PSG is trying to release the first statement first so that it will be looked like that they have ended Messi's contract for good and will not pursue any extension after his issue for traveling in Saudi Arabia last year when in fact it was just a job-related travel as he is the tourism ambassador in Saudi but PSG are having other thoughts about Messi might had a meeting with Al Nassr FC.
Anyway, PSG is trying to save their face before Messi will release a statement about his next journey upon the expiration of his contract with PSG somewhere this month as that will indeed look like that Messi is not interested anymore in signing under PSG, which is true by the way.
Messi has been the best for over a decade now and he has been already without this title. But I am happy he now won it as well.
