After two seasons full of contrasts, Lionel Messi leaves Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) and his future is one of the most talked about in the world of football.
The Argentine did not have the farewell that a player of his stature is used to. In the last game of the season playing at home in the Parque de los Príncipes stadium, Messi was booed by his own fansthe one that already in the course of the semester protested against his performance and used strong qualifications to force his departure from the club.
The reality is that the Argentine ’10’ in the statistics was left to owe to PSG, since they failed to overcome the knockout stages of the UEFA Champions League (UCL) in two seasons, the trophy coveted by fans and management.
Through his social networks, the also footballer and also a friend of Messi, Neymar Jr., revealed how difficult these two years were for the Argentine. Through her account on the social network Twitter, she left him a dedication and an enigmatic message.
“Brother, It didn’t turn out as we thought but we tried everything. It was a pleasure to share two more years with you. Good luck in your new stage and be happy. I love you,” said the Brazilian.

When Messi was presented with PSG on August 11, 2021, it was thought that he would repeat all the successes achieved with FC Barcelona, even more so with Neymar and Kylian Mbappé by his side. Despite this, there have only been three titles, all in France, those won: Ligue 1 (2022, 2023) and the French Super Cup (2022).
Just like his great friend Messi, Neymar could set out for Paris for the next season.
It is not the first time that the 31-year-old Brazilian soccer player has been put on the starting ramp. Before the start of 22/23, it was leaked that Mbappé wanted him out of the team due to his poor form, no commitment to the objectives of the institution and constant controversies over party getaways.
An interesting hiring market is in sight and PSG is one of the teams that will animate that show.
