Lionel Messi, the star player of Paris Saint-Germain, has bid farewell to the club’s fans ahead of his final game for the team. PSG’s manager, Christophe Galtier, had announced earlier in the week that the legendary forward would be leaving the club this summer. Messi is set to play his last game for the Ligue 1 champions against Clermont on Saturday night. PSG confirmed before kick-off that the seven-time Ballon d’Or winner would be leaving ahead of next season. The club expressed their gratitude towards Messi and thanked him for his contribution during his two seasons with the team.
Reports suggest that Messi could be announcing a move to Saudi Arabia on Tuesday, with Al Hilal showing interest in being the third club of his career. Messi bid farewell to PSG ahead of his departure, thanking the club, the city of Paris, and its people for their support during his time there. The Argentinian World Cup winner signed for PSG as a free agent in 2021 after leaving Barcelona, where he made 778 appearances. Although a return to Camp Nou has been suggested, a move to Saudi Arabia appears more likely. Messi will leave the French capital with two Ligue 1 titles and a Trophée des Champions to his name, having scored 32 goals in all competitions for PSG. He could extend his tally even further in his final game.
