Lionel Messi will leave Paris Saint-Germain when his contract expires at the end of the month – and he has a big decision to make about his future.
PSG manager Christophe Galtier confirmed on Thursday that Messi won’t sign a contract extension and will therefore become a free agent after June 30. He said: “I had a privilege of coaching the best player in the history of football. It will be Leo’s last match at the Parc des Princes against Clermont."
Messi has contributed 21 goals and 20 assists in 40 appearances this season to help win Ligue 1. Despite turning 36 on June 24 Messi still has plenty to offer the game, meaning it is not just his fame that is attracting new clubs this summer.
