Yes No. Paris Saint-Germain bothered this Thursday to go out to correct the statements of the coach of his first team, Christopher Galtierand ensured that the DT “poorly expressed” when he confirmed that Saturday’s match, against clermontwill be the last of Lionel Messi in the Parc des Princes.
According to the Parisian club, Galtier’s words refer to a last game “of this season”as confirmed to EFE news agency by PSG sources.
PSG’s clarification, however, does not necessarily confirm Messi’s permanence -whose contract expires on June 30- in the French capital, even if he has an option for another season.
A few hours earlier, when asked by the media about the situation of the Argentine forward at the press conference, Galtier had answered without a shadow of a doubt that the match against Clermont, on what will be the last day of Ligue 1 in France, will be the last for La Pulga at the PSG stadium.
“I had the privilege of managing the best player in football history”also expressed the technician.
Messi arrived at PSG in August 2021 with a two-year contract plus an option for a third: after the World Cup in Qatar it seemed that the player and the club would activate that extra year, but in recent weeks the positions have diverged. .
The 35-year-old footballer, seven-time Ballon d’Or and world champion with Argentina in 2022, is evaluating several offers, including a pharaonic one from Saudi Arabia, the largest contract in the history of football. But there are other options, such as signing for Inter Miami. Furthermore, as Clarín was able to discover, he would have a proposal from a European club that is not Barcelona, which for now has not made any formal approach and is still handcuffed due to its financial disasters.
