Messi is leaving PSG!

"I have the honor of coaching the best player in the history of football. This will be Messi's last game in a PSG shirt at the Parc des Princes against Clermont. I hope he will be well received by the fans," coach Christophe Galtier told the French media.

Previously, French media reports confirmed that PSG would not be renewing Messi's contract as planned before the 2022 World Cup. The Argentine superstar is planning to return to his former club Barcelona when his contract expires on June 30th. However, the Catalan club has yet to make an official offer.

Recently, many sources have reported that Messi will make a decision about his future after completing his final match for PSG against Clermont. To date, Messi's destination for the new season remains unclear. Saudi Arabian club Al-Hilal is the only team that has so far made an offer for Messi, with a total cost of up to 1.2 billion euros for two seasons (including a contract to be an ambassador for Saudi Arabia's bid to host the 2030 World Cup).

However, the latest development is that Inter Miami, co-owned by former football legend David Beckham, has offered Messi €200 million for four seasons. If he agrees to join Inter Miami, there is a high probability that Messi will be loaned back to Barcelona for one season, fulfilling his wish to return to the Catalan club and have a happy ending with the team that helped him achieve fame.

This also aligns with Messi's desire to play in Europe in a top-level football environment to maintain his form and continue contributing to the Argentine national team at the 2024 Copa America. However, according to journalist Cesar Luis Merlo of TyC Sports, "If Inter Miami acquires Messi, they will not agree to the loan clause for Barcelona."

Meanwhile, following the confirmation of Messi's departure from PSG, coach Christophe Galtier also stated that the Parisian team would not be celebrating their Ligue 1 championship, as all focus was on the critical condition of goalkeeper Sergio Rico (who remains in a coma after a horse riding accident).
