PSG and Messi on the verge of divorce

Author: YOAN VALAT | EFE

various media, including L’Equipe, Le Parisien and Radio Monte Carlothey agree that only a significant reduction in salary would allow him to stay in Paris, where he is booed

He Paris Saint Germain and Lionel Messi They are approaching a divorce, writes the French press, given the pressure on the club to reduce the wage bill and doubts about whether it needs a thorough reconstruction of the team.

The team’s coach Christophe Galtier is also on the move, after recent league defeats, most recently last Sunday’s 0-1 loss to Lyon, mean the club have failed to secure the title this season.

For L’Equipethe only possibility for the Argentine star to stay in Paris after the contract expires on June 30 is yes accept a significant reduction in your token, as PSG must reduce their wage bill to comply with UEFA’s Financial Fair Play rules.

Sports newspapers are taking notice the club proposed to Messi a reduction of a quarter of his million salarybecause PSG “is not willing to do everything to keep La Pulga” in their team, given that he will already turn 36 in June.

And he also remembers the last sirens of Barcelona, ​​who would like to return their historical figure in order to end their long-term relationship in the best possible way, even if the financial situation of the Catalan club (which should also sharply cut its wage bill) would not allow him to to offer Messi a great contract.

The situation coincides with the boos and boos of the Argentine star, such as those last Sunday at the Parque de los Príncipes when the loudspeaker announced his name in the Parisians’ line-up, in contrast to the cheering that came for local figure Kylian Mbappé.

Messi scored 12 goals and provided 14 assists in the 19 games he played before the World Cup in Qatar, but He barely scored 6 goals and three decisive assists in 14 games after winning the world title with his team.

Messi’s low performance is, for Le Parisienthe “symbol of decline” of PSG in recent months, after falling again in the Champions League in the round of 16, this time to Bayern Munich.

Meanwhile, PSG could very seriously think about giving up on Galtier if they fail to turn things around in the next league games.

After their latest defeats and nine games to go, the Parisian club lead Lens and Marseille by just six points, so the championship could escape them after their big dream, the Champions League, was dashed when they were knocked out again in the round of 16.

Galtier, also on the wire

Galtier is a matter of “weeks or days,” he says Le Parisienwhich states that even if the coach ends the season, there is very little chance that he will continue on the PSG bench.

Because, if the coach does not gather the team in the next two league games, his period on the bench of the Parisians could come to an abrupt end.

Arriving last season after good games in Lille (they won the league in 2020/21), the coach faces the same challenge as his predecessors: to give the all-star team a recognizable and effective system of play.

Galtier is reproached for his “indulgence” when it comes to looking for stars, while treating others “firmly”. In addition, his relationship with the club’s sports advisor, the Portuguese Luis Campos, has deteriorated significantly in recent weeks.
