The love for your own superstar doesn’t go that far following all…
After Argentina’s title win, Qatari Paris boss Nasser Al-Khelaïfi (49) was proudly photographed with world champion Lionel Messi (35). But now he doesn’t fulfill his wish!
Messi is said to have asked the PSG bosses to be allowed to present the World Cup trophy to the fans in the Prinzenpark at the next home game on Wednesday once morest Strasbourg. But according to Goal.com, he was banned from doing so.
Background: Al-Khelaïfi and Co. fear that the appearance will be too provocative.
After all, Messi defeated France and club-mate Kylian Mbappé (24) in the World Cup final. The action would also be a humiliation for Neymar (30), who was eliminated with Brazil in the quarterfinals and also plays in Paris.
Pot ban for Messi – but there’s good news for the superstar too!
As reported by “Le Parisien”, PSG and the player agree to extend the contract, which expires in the summer, until 2025. Accordingly, Messi’s father and advisor Jorge (64) is said to have reached an agreement with the French during the World Cup.
After that, it didn’t look like a complicated first season with adjustment difficulties. But Messi has arrived in Paris – and is far from thinking regarding retiring at club level!
The Argentine: “There was a big change in the first year. It wasn’t my goal to leave Barcelona and it all came very suddenly. After this long and difficult time I am happy to live there and my family and I are enjoying Paris.”
Despite pot ban!
