Lionel Messi ‘likely’ to leave PSG at end of season: source close to club

PARIS: Lionel Messi is “much more likely” to leave Paris Saint-Germain at the end of the season than sign a new deal, a source close to the club told AFP on Tuesday.

“The dynamics have completely changed with PSG less pushing to renew (his contract),” the source said, adding that there was “no deal, no exit yet. But exit is much more likely.”

Messi, who will turn 36 in June, joined in 2021 on a two-year deal which expires at the end of this campaign.
