Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) fans have been left in doubt about Lionel Messi’s future at the club, as the Argentine player has not yet renewed his contract, which expires in a few months.
The speculation around Messi is mounting, and even transfer expert Fabrizio Romano has commented on the matter.
In his latest report, he mentioned that the Saudi Arabian club, Al Hilal, has offered Messi a deal as well.
However, he has expressed a keen interest in continuing to play in Europe, which may make the Saudi Arabian deal unlikely.
Despite his desire to continue playing in Europe, he has also been the subject of interest from Barcelona.
Meanwhile, If he decides to return to Barcelona, the club will need to obtain financial fair play clearance to make the offer.
The prospect of the super-star footballer returning to Barcelona has excited the club’s supporters, who are eagerly waiting for the outcome of this situation.
Recently, PSG suffered a loss against Olympique Lyon, and Messi’s name was displayed on the boards of the Parc des Princes, which resulted in boos from some of the fans.
This reaction has not gone down well, and former PSG player Emmanuel Petit has slammed the fans’ disrespectful response, suggesting Messi should leave the club.
Emmanuel Petit slammed fans for booing Lionel Messi, in his words:
“When I hear that, for me, it’s an insult to football, I know that today there is only a pack of dogs who only think of drooling on Neymar and Messi … If I have any advice for Messi: Get out of this club!
“This club is not a football club. It’s a pre-retirement club, even for 20-year-old players. No player has progressed since joining PSG. Is it Messi’s fault? He’s a maestro with a stick; it’s up to him to have players around him who make the effort.”
Petit’s recent comments hint at the problems that PSG might be facing.
It appears that the club may not have progressed since its major expansion and investment, and the former player suggests that it is down to a lack of effort from the players.
Messi is undoubtedly a world-class talent and requires support to excel.
Messi’s future is still uncertain, and PSG will need to act quickly to resolve the matter, whether it is by renewing the contract or searching for a replacement.
