Lionel Messi will leave Paris Saint-Germain this summer when his contract ends, according to head coach Christophe Galtier of the French club.
The Argentine has decided not to extend, thus his quest for a new team has begun.
This will be the forward’s last game when PSG plays Clermont in the season finale on Saturday.
In a press conference on Thursday, Galtier said, “I had the honor of coaching the greatest player in football history.”
His final game here will be against Clermont at Parc des Princes.
The conversation between Messi’s crew and the administrators of the Saudi Arabian club Al Hilal started months ago. It appears that all roads lead to Saudi Arabia for Messi.
The arrangement he entered into with the nation’s tourism ministry led to the first interactions, and as a result of this, he has come to represent the nation for a number of campaigns.
Al Hilal has created an offer that is challenging to refuse thanks in large part to the government’s initiatives to grow the nation’s football scene and to promote Saudi Arabia to the world.
The contract at hand includes more than simply sports-related matters and talks about well over 300 million euros for each of the two projected seasons.
