Messi to Blame? Argentine Star Reportedly at Root of Barcelona Chief’s Exit | OneFootball

Paris Saint-Germain might have ended the Lionel Messi era in the French capital after reportedly suspending the 35-year-old for his unauthorized trip to Saudi Arabia.

If this is how Messi’s tenure ends at PSG, FC Barcelona will be pushing to ensure they reunite with their former player. However, the Spanish club’s director of football, Mateu Alemany, might not be in a rush to have Messi back.

COPE’s Helena Condis reported on Tuesday that one of Alemany’s decisions to leave the Catalan side at the end of the 2022-23 season is due to his reluctance to be part of the group that wants Messi back at Camp Nou.

As a result, it seems Barcelona will make an all-out push for Messi now that their director of football is out of the way. Reports out of France reveal that PSG is done with Messi, so the La Liga side might be the only European option for him.

However, Barcelona doesn’t offload the players needed to register Messi; the 2022 FIFA World Cup winner might have to look at other options, including a move to MLS.
