The revolt of the “ultras”, PSG’s organized fans, with Messi took place after the Argentine star traveled to Saudi Arabia without authorization, after the 3-1 defeat to Lorient, and thus missed the team’s training last Monday -fair. As a result, the athlete received a two-week punishment and the club’s denial of a possible contract renewal.
With that, the world champion, who has a bond with the Parisian team until June this year, will be free on the market. Barcelona, his former club, Inter Miami, from the United States, and Al-Hilal, from Saudi Arabia itself, are the 35-year-old’s favorite destinations.

For his part, Neymar has been out of action since February, when he suffered a serious ligament injury to his right ankle. As the prediction is three to four months for complete recovery, the Brazilian striker should miss the team for the rest of the season.
The number 10 has a contract with PSG until June 2025, but he could leave the club in the next transfer window.
Without Neymar and Messi available, therefore, the French team faces Troyes, for the 34th round of the French Championship, away from home, at 3:45 pm (Brasília time) on Sunday. Paris leads the competition with 75 points – five ahead of second-placed Olympique de Marseille.
