Lionel Messi will leave PSG this summer, manager Christophe Galtier has confirmed

Paris Saint-Germain manager Christophe Galtier has confirmed that Lionel Messi will leave the club this summer.

Galtier said that he had a meeting with Messi and told him that he was not part of his plans for the upcoming season. He also said that Messi was disappointed with the decision, but he understood it.

Messi joined PSG from Barcelona in 2021 on a two-year contract. He won the Ligue 1 title in his first season at the club, but he failed to win the Champions League.

It is not yet clear where Messi will go next. He has been linked with a move back to Barcelona, as well as a move to Chelsea or Manchester City.

Messi's departure from PSG is a major blow to the club. He was one of the most expensive signings in history, and he was expected to lead the team to Champions League glory.

However, Messi struggled to adapt to life in Paris, and he was often criticized for his performances. He also missed a number of games due to injury.

Messi's departure is a sign that PSG are facing a major rebuild. The club have also announced that Kylian Mbappe will be leaving the club, and they are likely to lose other key players in the summer.

It will be interesting to see how PSG rebuild without Messi and Mbappe. The club have a lot of money, but they will need to find a way to bring in new players who can compete at the highest level.

Here are some of the possible destinations for Lionel Messi:

Barcelona: Messi has always said that he wants to finish his career at Barcelona. The club are reportedly interested in re-signing him, and they could offer him a reduced salary.
Chelsea: Chelsea are looking for a new striker after Romelu Lukaku returned to Inter Milan on loan. Messi would be a perfect fit for the club, and he could help them to challenge for the Premier League title.
Manchester City: Manchester City are always looking to sign the best players in the world. Messi would be a great addition to their squad, and he could help them to win the Champions League.
It is still too early to say where Messi will go next. However, it is clear that he will be one of the most sought-after players in the summer transfer window.
