     The footballing world was left stunned when it was announced that Lionel Messi had been suspended by Paris Saint-Germain for making an unauthorised trip to Saudi Arabia following their defeat to Lorient last Sunday. The seven-time Ballon d'Or winner's punishment includes forfeiting two weeks' salary and being prohibited from training with the team, meaning he will miss the club's upcoming games against Troyes and Ajaccio.

     Now, it appears that the Argentine superstar has made up his mind about returning for the remainder of the season, as reports from France suggest that tensions remain high at PSG, both internally and externally. Angry supporters of the team staged two protests on Wednesday, one at the team's headquarters against Messi and the board, and another outside Neymar's house, with fans demanding that the Brazilian leaves the club.

     Behind the scenes, Messi's relationship with the board is thought to have soured following the decision to suspend him, and it is now believed that the 35-year-old does not imagine himself returning to the Parc des Princes or featuring in the team's last three matches of the campaign. According to French newspaper , there are no more contract negotiations between PSG and the forward, with his exit as a free agent all but confirmed.

     It appears that Messi's time at PSG is coming to a close, and the 2022 FIFA World Cup winner will now be focusing on the last three games of the season against Auxerre, Strasbourg, and Clermont Foot. With the Argentine superstar set to leave the club, it remains to be seen how his departure will affect the team's performance in the remainder of the season.
