Paris Saint-Germain manager, Christophe Galtier has confirmed that Lionel Messi will leave the club this summer.
Messi’s two-year contract with Les Parisiens is due to expire this summer, and rumours have been swirling about the legendary forward’s future for a considerable amount of time.
Now, the Argentine World Cup winner’s future has been confirmed by Galtier, who revealed in his pre-match press conference that this weekend’s Ligue 1 clash with Clermont Foot will be the player’s last with the club.
“I had the privilege of coaching the best player in the history of football. It will be Leo’s last match at the Parc des Princes against Clermont.”
The forward has been heavily linked with a mega-money move to Saudi Arabia this summer, with Al-Hilal keen to offer a €400m-a-year salary. But 90min understands that his former club Barcelona are confident of securing the player’s services once again.
While Barcelona won’t be able to match the €400m-a-year wage packet that Al-Hilal can offer, they are confident they can work the financial levers enough to present Messi with an acceptable offer.
