All is not well between star footballer Lionel Messi and his club Paris Saint Germain (PSG). According to media reports, the club has suspended the Argentine star for two weeks. He is accused of traveling to Saudi Arabia without permission. 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 is accompanied by his wife Antonella and children on a trip to Saudi Arabia.
Messi suspended with immediate effect
Veteran French football journalist Fabrizio Romano revealed these reports. Earlier it was reported that Messi would be banned for several days, while Fabrizio said that he would be suspended for two weeks. According to Fabrizio, this suspension is already in force and will continue for the next two weeks. He wrote – Paris Saint-Germain's decision follows Messi's visit to Saudi Arabia this week, which was not authorized by the club.
Messi will not be able to play for the next two weeks
Fabrizio wrote – Messi's side is still waiting for an official update from the club to clarify the situation after the club's informal decision. The club has not given any official update yet. If PSG follows this decision, then Messi will not be able to play for the next two weeks. Now the question arises where did this whole issue arise and why Messi despite being the star of the club had to face such a harsh decision? Let's know.
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.
The reason being given for the offer received from Al Hilal
Not only this but Messi's offer from Saudi's football club Al Hilal is also being told as a big reason. 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. At the same time, Saudi Arabia's club Al Hilal has offered a record salary of Rs 3600 crore.
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.
If Messi goes to Al Hilal, his career in European football will be almost over. However, journalist Fabrizio Romano has said that Messi still wants to play in Europe. He wants to play football at the top level in preparation for the Copa America in 2024. In such a situation, it is difficult for him to sign with any club outside Europe. Messi's arch-rival Portugal Cristiano Ronaldo plays in Saudi Arabia. He signed an agreement with Al Nasr at the end of last year for 200 million euros ($ 211 million) i.e. Rs 1751 crore.
