PSG striker Lionel Messi will leave the Paris club after the end of the 2022/23 season. This was announced by the head coach of the Parisians Christophe Galtier. " The match against Clermont will be the last for Leo Messi at the Parc des Princes. I hope he gets the best welcome.. This year he was an important element of the team. I do not consider the remarks to him and his criticism absolutely justified.. Despite the season with the World Cup, he still gave statistics of 21 goals and 20 assists. He always did everything for the team. It was a great honor for me to be by Leo's side throughout the season," Messi has been with PSG since joining Barcelona on a free transfer in the summer of 2021.. He made 74 appearances in all competitions wearing the Paris jersey, scoring 32 goals and 35 assists..

Messi has 21 goals and 20 assists in 40 appearances for PSG in all competitions this season. Earlier it was reported that Messi received an official offer to continue his career. The 35-year-old Argentine could become the highest paid footballer in the world. Recall that in early May, PSG suspended Messi for two weeks with deprivation of wages due to an uncoordinated trip to Saudi Arabia.. Later, Messi publicly apologized to his teammates, after which he returned to training with the team..
