TOP STORY – MESSI AND PSG RELATIONSHIP IRREPARABLE
L’Equipe claims Messi’s relationship with PSG irreparable and he is all but certain to exit at the end of this season, with a return to Barcelona appearing increasingly likely.
Messi spent more than 20 years at Camp Nou, before Barca’s financial challenges led to his departure for PSG in August 2021, with the club keen to welcome him back.
The 35-year-old was jeered by PSG fans during Sunday’s 1-0 home loss to Lyon amid speculation of his departure.
