Messi celebrates his 36th birthday (Clip: B/R Football) after a successful season at the national team level, with the World Cup trophy
Today, Lionel Messi officially celebrates his 36th birthday. On the happy day of the Argentine superstar, Barcelona, "La Albiceleste" has sent their wishes. Inter Miami brought a meaningful gift while in the process of completing the procedures to reunite Sergio Busquets with Messi in MLS.
In particular, PSG also posted a status, along with a short clip of memories to celebrate Messi's birthday, even though the Argentine player is said to have partly influenced Mbappe's recent rebellion with the French capital team.
Messi receives congratulations from PSG, Barcelona on the 36th happy day of his life
Previously, Spanish media confirmed that Lionel Messi's role was very important. Defensa Central newspaper said that Messi urged Mbappe to leave PSG and assessed that his old team was not capable of winning the Champions League.
This Spanish newspaper quoted Messi as saying to Mbappe: "I would rather you go to Barca. But if you want to go to Real Madrid, do it. You deserve a team capable of winning (Champions League)".
In addition, before coming to Inter Miami, Messi had a bad time saying goodbye to the French capital team. PSG once punished this superstar for 2 weeks, not allowing him to practice and compete because he traveled to Saudi Arabia without permission from the Paris club. Messi also received a lot of boos from PSG fans.
"At first everything was great. I had a lot of support. But things started to change. There was a certain distance between me and the fan base. This was not what I wanted. I came to Paris because I liked the team and had friends here. It seemed easier for me to adapt here than anywhere else.
Not only me, the fans' criticism is also directed at Kylian Mbappe and Neymar. That's their way of cheering. I only keep memories of those who support me" - Messi answered in an interview with RMC Sport.
Messi is expected to make his debut for Inter Miami fans on July 21.
After all, Messi will officially join Inter Miami after June 30 (when his contract with PSG ends) and is expected to make his debut on July 21.
Meanwhile, Mbappe is still at the center of the summer transfer market between Real Madrid and PSG. In addition, Luis Enrique, who is expected to take over PSG, accepts the player's departure. However, he wants to have a conversation and explain the team's project to the French striker before he makes a final decision.
According to some sources, Mbappe said he would only leave this summer if PSG paid him 150 million euros as stated in the contract.
The number 10's contract with the Paris club expires in June 2024 and if he is not sold before January 1, 2024, he will be allowed to negotiate with any team and leave at the end of the season as a free transfer - meaning PSG will lose Mbappe for free.
