On Tuesday, L’Equipe claimed that Paris Saint-Germain star Lionel Messi would not extend his contract.
When Messi initially came in the United States in the year 2021, he included an optional third-season provision to his contract. According to the report, club authorities have made the decision not to activate it.
The 35-year-old player was scheduled to train with his squad after their 3-1 loss at home to Lorient in Ligue 1 on Sunday, but instead of doing so, he went to Saudi Arabia, according to L’Equipe, which resulted in the player receiving a two-week suspension on Tuesday.
The player who won the World Cup with Argentina is not allowed to participate in games or practices with the squad, and his salary will be reduced while he is suspended.
Messi is expected to be out for the forthcoming Ligue 1 matches against Troyes and Ajaccio, although he might make his comeback for the game on May 21 against Auxerre. After that, he will be accessible to the club up to the conclusion of the season on June 3.
PSG is now in first position in the rankings with 75 points after playing 33 matches, five points ahead of Olympique de Marseille, which is in second place.
