Leo Messi leaves Paris Saint-Germain, the new destination is Barcelona or Arabia

Merkato started with many surprises. Not for the most expensive moves, as they will happen in the coming days because the seasons are not yet closed in some countries, but because the spotlight is on reigning world champion Lionel Messi, one of the best footballers in history. Mesi will leave the French club PSG where he is currently and will likely sign again with Barcelona, ??but the possibility of moving to Saudi Arabia, to any club that is ready to do financial madness, is not excluded. The news was given by the coach of the French club, Christophe Galtier, who at the press conference on the eve of the match with Clermont, admitted that the Argentine will play for the last time in the "Park of the Princes". "I had the privilege of coaching the best player in the history of football. Tomorrow will be his last game at the 'Princes' Park'. I hope it will be respected in the right way', declared Galtier. Speaking about the 2-year experience of the Argentine star in the French club, the PSG technician admitted that especially in the current season, Messi became a very important element for the team. "The first season he had to acclimatize, while this year he showed on the field that he was one of the most important elements of the team. I find the criticisms of him unfounded, since in a strange season like this World Cup he scored 21 goals and gave 22 assists, always being at the service of the team", said the coach. Lionel Messi joined PSG in the summer of 2021 and signed a 2-year contract, which expires on June 30 this year. Despite the offer from the French club, the Argentinian star decided not to renew the collaboration, this is also due to the fact that he never managed to create the right affection with the PSG fans, who have criticized and criticized him on several occasions. Mesi's future is still to be decided, as Barcelona are trying to bring him back, while Saudi Arabia and the United States also remain options. Meanwhile, Paris Saint-Germain is seen as the favorite to secure the services of winger Marco Asensio. "L'Equipe" has announced on Thursday that Paris has defeated the competition of other teams for Asensio, to whom it has made a good offer. It is learned that he has been offered a higher salary than what he receives at Real and a four-year contract with the option of extension for the sixth year. In the event that an agreement is reached between the parties, then Asensio will be transferred to Paris as a free player as his contract with Real expires at the end of this month. The 27-year-old has scored 12 goals and assisted 8 times in all competitions for Real this season.
