On May 5, Lionel Messi admitted he could not cancel his trip to Saudi Arabia and apologized to PSG.

On his personal page, Messi spoke about the scandal: “I think we will have a day off after the match as usual. I have planned this trip and can’t cancel anymore.

Leo’s father, Jorge Messi, informed the management of the Parc des Princes team about this intention a month ago”, the house said. newspaper Fabrizio Romano revealed.

According to the French press, Director Luis Campos was not satisfied with Messi when the player born in 1987 refused to renew his contract.
