Paris Saint-Germain has shifted its focus away from prioritizing a contract extension for Lionel Messi, who is set to become a free agent this summer.
PSG focused on future
PSG’s makeover began about a year ago when they hired Christophe Galtier to replace Mauricio Pochettino as their manager.
Additionally, the club signed six new players during the summer, with the oldest being Fabian Ruiz at 26 years old.
PSG also streamlined their first-team squad by loaning out several players, and some of them may be available for permanent transfers this summer since their contracts with the club have expired.
Lionel Messi’s suspension
Lionel Messi received a suspension from PSG earlier this week because he traveled to Saudi Arabia for a non-approved commercial event, despite having training scheduled with the team on Monday.
Lionel Messi ready to reunite with Cristiano Ronaldo?
Messi is anticipated to follow in the footsteps of his longtime rival, Cristiano Ronaldo, by joining a Saudi Pro League team.
Ronaldo recently signed a massive deal with Al Nassr in January, with an agreement that runs until June 2025 and is worth more than 400 million euros ($439 million). Forbes has ranked Ronaldo as the highest-paid athlete in the world as a result of this deal.
