PSG Coach Finally Confirms That Lionel Messi Is Set To Leave The Club

Christophe Galtier, the PSG boss, has confirmed that Lionel Messi is set to leave the club.

He says Messi will leave PSG when his contract expires at the end of the season.

Galtier has confirmed that Messi is set to leave PSG when his contract expires amid an eye-watering offer from Saudi Arabia that would see him go head-to-head with Cristiano Ronaldo once again.

Barcelona have also been linked with a potential move to sign Messi, but that deal appears to be dead, while the Premier League has also been touted as a shock destination.

Galtier said: “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”.

Messi has been in fine form this season, contributing 16 goals and 16 assists in Ligue 1, but he is now poised to take on a new challenge.

The most likely destination for the World Cup winner appears to be Saudi Arabia, as he took an unsanctioned trip to the nation earlier this season, and was subsequently suspended by his club.

In addition, the president of the Saudi FA has gone on record to confirm the country's interest.
