Lionel Messi will leave Paris St Germain at the end of the season, manager Christophe Galtier has confirmed. The seven-time Ballon d’Or winner will make his last appearance for the club in their final Ligue 1 outing of the campaign against Clermont on Saturday. The 35-year-old’s departure after two years at PSG had long been anticipated and it was officially communicated by Galtier at a press conference on Thursday. Saturday will be his last game at the Parc des Princes Christophe Galtier said of Lionel Messi “I will take away that I have had the privilege of coaching the best football player ever, Leo Messi,” said Galtier in remarks published on the club’s website, psg.fr. “Saturday will be his last game at the Parc des Princes. I hope he will be welcomed in the best way possible.” Messi left Barcelona for PSG amid a financial crisis at the Catalan club in 2021. The Argentinian World Cup winner has helped the Parisians to two Ligue 1 titles but, despite some impressive statistics this season, his relationship with the club appeared to have soured. Last month, he was suspended for two weeks after making an unauthorised trip to Saudi Arabia. He has since been linked with a future move to the Middle East country, as well as the United States and a return to Barcelona. Galtier was keen to pay tribute to his on-field contributions. He said: “He has always been available, always present in the training sessions. “Despite the remarks or criticisms that I don’t think were justified at all, he has always been at the service of the team, both as a provider of assists and as a goalscorer. “He is 35 years old, there was a World Cup in the middle of the season. His stats outside of the World Cup, correct me if I am wrong, but I think he is on 21 goals and 22 assists, which means he has (contributed) 43 times this season.” Read More Charity boss speaks out over ‘traumatic’ encounter with royal aide Ukraine war’s heaviest fight rages in east - follow live Ireland dig in after England seamer Stuart Broad rips through top order Uefa awaits reports following Jose Mourinho’s rant at referee Anthony Taylor ‘One of the best young players in the world’: Lauren James commits future to Chelsea

Lionel Messi will leave Paris Saint-Germain this summer after two seasons at the club. The manager Christophe Galtier confirmed the news ahead of PSG’s final game of the season this weekend. “I had a privilege of coaching the best player in the history of football,” Galtier said. “It will be Leo’s last match at the Parc des Princes against Clermont.” Messi, 35, has been linked with a return to Barcelona, and manager Xavi revealed this week that talks have taken place. “I told the president that Messi return makes sense,” Xavi said. “No doubts at all, he is perfect for our system and idea. I’ve the tactical plan in mind with Leo. It’s up to Leo. I think he has to decide, it’s up to him… I’m speaking with Leo, yes.” While a reunion with his former club would be the romantic choice, there are also lucrative offers on the table from the US, where the David Beckham-owned Inter Miami are exploring a deal, and Saudi Arabia. Al-Hilal are prepared to pay the Argentinian £1bn over a two-year period in order to compete against his former rival Cristiano Ronaldo, who plays for Al-Nassr. Messi has made 74 appearances for PSG, scoring 32 goals. He arrived in the French capital to great fanfare but struggled to make an impact in his first season and was overshadowed by teammate Kylian Mbappe, as they won Ligue 1 but crashed out of the Champions League in the first knockout round. This season has been a similar story, albeit with the added bonus of a French Cup triumph. Messi was booed by some PSG fans following the World Cup after leading Argentina to glory against France in the final.
