PSG and Clermont will face each other this Saturday, 3, at 4 pm (Brasília time), for the last round of Ligue One; game could mark Messi’s goodbye
Lionel Messi must not follow PSG and his farewell will take place this Saturday, 3, in front of the Clermont. The ball is scheduled to start rolling in the Parque dos Príncipes from 4 pm (Brasília time) and the game promises to have the best player in the world as its main protagonist. That’s because, his contract will end and the tendency is that he will not continue in the current French champion.
It is worth noting that the team won its 11th national title last Saturday, the 27th, when it drew against Strasbourg, away from home. Messi even scored a great goal that could have been his last in a PSG shirt. With no interest in following in French football, the tendency is for him to define his future in the week to come. Barcelona, Al Hilal, Inter Miami and Premier League clubs are most interested.
Before the last round of Ligue One, Christophe Galtier, on Thursday, 1, even said in a press conference that the game would be Messi’s last with the PSG shirt: “I had the privilege of coaching the best player in football history. It will be Leo’s last match at the Parc des Princes against Clermont“. However, hours later, the club spoke out and denied that the athlete had already decided to leave the team.
In a statement to the “AFP” news agency, PSG made it clear that no action had been taken on the subject: “(Galtier) He expressed himself badly, and the match against Clermont would be Messi’s last at the Parc des Princes this season”. The fact is that, with Paris trying to outwit the Argentine striker, clubs interested in the athlete are still hoping to sign him. On Friday, the 2nd, Xavi even revealed that the star will give an answer next week.
“Leo Messi will decide his future next week. He has 100% of my approval to join us. He knows we are ready to receive him. Nothing has changed, we have chances. We want Leo here. We will let him decide. I am ready to include it in our system“, he declared during the press conference.
