Lionel Messi has had a complicated week. Eliminated with PSG from the Champions League following two average meetings on a personal level (and a missed penalty), the Pulga was once more the target of numerous criticisms from Parisian supporters and the French press. .
This weekend, once morest Bordeaux, Messi was heavily whistled throughout the meeting by his own supporters at the Parc des Princes. A great first for the Argentinian who had not been used to such treatment since the start of his career. If we add to this a difficult acclimatization to his new life in Paris and statistics below the norm for the sevenfold Ballon d’Or, it is easy to recognize that the Parisian fairy tale has turned into a nightmare.
So much so that according to well-informed Catalan journalists, Lionel Messi would already like to leave Paris Saint-Germain next summer. And not for any destination since the Argentinian would like to return to FC Barcelona. According to journalist Gerard Romero, the father of La Pulga, Jorge Messi would have come into contact with the leaders of the Catalan club, “and he didn’t make just one call”, said the journalist. Contacts that would have already been established before the events of this weekend. Revelations confirmed by El Chiringuito de Jugones, which abounds in the same direction.
Still, despite Messi’s desire to leave PSG, his contractual situation (he receives 30 million euros per year) will make the operation very complicated. Especially since if Jorge Messi has contacted the leaders of Barça, it is not confirmed that the interest is mutual. Barça has started its revival with many young players from the training center and the machine is starting to set up under Xavi’s orders. Especially since Barça will probably not be able to go crazy during the next summer transfer window and PSG should not give it up so easily.
