According to reports from Spain, Lionel Messi is expected to be booed by Paris Saint-Germain Ultras in their upcoming Ligue 1 match against Stade Rennes. This is causing tensions to rise in Paris. In the summer of 2021, the storied Argentine star left Barcelona and relocated to Paris, reuniting with Neymar Jr., his former teammate.
However, two years later, the two renowned South Americans failed to assist PSG in achieving their European goals. With his agreement set to run out toward the finish of the ebb and flow season, there is enormous hypothesis in regards to the 2022 FIFA World Cup champ’s future in Paris.
There has been no official announcement regarding Lionel Messi’s contract, despite rumors that he may sign a new one at the Parc des Princes. PSG Ultras have reportedly been enraged by the situation, particularly in light of their second consecutive exit from the last 16 of the UEFA Champions League.
During the upcoming league match between PSG and PSG, they will now be targeting the renowned Argentine. According to Spanish reports, the most prominent Ultras of PSG have been quoted as saying, as seen on GOAL, “We will whistle at [Lionel] Messi this Sunday.” He has too high a compensation comparable to what he presents on the pitch.”
Lionel Messi and the 2022 FIFA World Cup Brilliant Boot champ Kylian Mbappe were fruitless in assisting PSG with exploring past Bayern Munich in the last 16 of the UCL. With an aggregate score of 3-0, the French champions were eliminated from the tournament against the German juggernaut led by Julian Nagelsmann.
The 35-year-old’s demands for a renewal of his contract, which is currently worth €35 million per season, are said to have changed following Argentina’s recent World Cup victory.
Saudi Arabia will do everything it can to get Lionel Messi signed:
If Lionel Messi decides to leave PSG, as per MARCA, the Saudi Pro League has also shown a lot of interest in him this summer. In the winter, the five-time Ballon d’Or winner Cristiano Ronaldo signed with Saudi Arabia.
Al Nassr made him one of the highest-paid football players in history. Al Hilal, the reigning Saudi Pro League champions who are currently under FIFA sanctions, have targeted the Argentina captain this summer.
In addition, the 18-time champions are said to be willing to match Ronaldo’s extravagant €220 million-per-year contract in order to entice Lionel Messi to relocate to the Middle East. The erratic Argentine’s willingness to leave the top five European leagues remains to be seen.
