Messi isn't having a great time with PSG

Messi played an important role in making Argentina win the FIFA World Cup in the year 2022. The legendary footballer will turn 36 next month. Recently, on Sunday, he played a match against Lorient in Ligue 1 for Paris Saint-Germain. In this match, Lorient defeated Paris Saint-Germain 3-1. After this, he travelled to Saudi Arabia to fulfil commitments on behalf of his country as part of a contract with the tourism office, which passed to his club Paris Saint-German. Due to this, the club decided to suspend him.

Messi, who left Barcelona to relocate to Paris in the summer of 2021, has been mentioned as perhaps returning to the Catalan team. The hierarchy at the Nou Camp, including club manager Xavi, who played a significant portion of his club career alongside the Argentine, have publicly talked about and pondered this transfer.
