Argentina and Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) star footballer Lionel Messi has apologized for traveling to Saudi Arabia without the club's permission. Recently, Messi went to Saudi with his wife and children. After this, the club suspended him for two weeks. However, now that he has apologized to the club, it will be interesting to see whether his suspension is reduced or not. There are also speculations about Messi joining any Saudi club.
What did Messi say?
French sports journalist Fabrizio Romano shared a video. In which Messi is seen apologizing to the club. In this video, Messi says- I thought we were going to take a day off as usual after the match. I had planned this tour and I could not cancel it. I had canceled a trip to Saudi earlier also.
Messi says- I apologize to my teammates and I am waiting for what the club wants to do with me. Big hug to everyone. Messi will not be allowed to train while the suspension is in place. Apart from this, neither he will be able to play and he will not be given a salary during this period. Messi's contract with PSG is also expiring this season. In such a situation, this suspension has given rise to speculations that Messi may leave PSG.
Messi went on a trip to Saudi Arabia even after the club lost
This whole matter started in the last match of PSG. The club played its last match on 30 April against Lorient. PSG had to face a 3-1 defeat in that match. According to team rules, the players would have had two days off if PSG had won that match, but PSG lost the match. In this case, the leave was canceled. According to the rules, in this situation, Messi should have trained with the team, but he went to Saudi Arabia.
Messi is also the brand ambassador of Saudi Arabia's Tour and Travel. The offer he received from the Saudi football club is also said to be a major reason behind this suspension. Messi is planning to leave French club Paris Saint Germain (PSG) after this season. His contract with the club will expire in June this year. PSG has put Messi in front of new contacts, but the Argentina captain has not signed him. Meanwhile, Messi's old club Barcelona has shown interest in calling him back again.
PSG's team has many big players in the world. Apart from Messi, there are France captain and young star Kylian Mbappe, Brazilian legend Neymar Jr and former Spain captain Sergio Ramos. Despite this, the team was out of the UEFA Champions League for the second year in a row.
Why does Messi want to leave PSG?
There is a lack of coordination among the players of PSG's team. Messi is disappointed by this. At the same time, he is not happy with the current coach Christophe Gaultier's team selection and his plans. Messi wanted to continue with PSG despite these things, but he was booed by the home fans in the home ground Parc des Princes in the last few matches. He is very upset about this. Saudi Arabia's football club Al-Hilal has talked about giving 400 million euros (about Rs 3600 crore) to Messi every year. Messi's trip is also linked to this.
