ISTANBUL (AA) - Lionel Messi will leave Paris Saint-Germain when his contract expires at the end of this season, club manager Christophe Galtier confirmed on Thursday.
"I had a privilege of coaching the best player in the history of football. It will be Leo’s last match at the Parc des Princes against Clermont," Galtier told a press conference.
There have been rumors that Messi has received a formal offer to join Saudi Arabian club Al-Hilal next season.
Last month, the World Cup winner was given a two-week suspension for an unauthorized trip for two days to Saudi Arabia.
The Argentine moved to the Paris team from Barcelona on a two-year contact in 2021. He was criticized over PSG crashing out of the Champions League round of 16 at the hands of Bayern Munich this season.
