Chelsea – and other potential suitors – have been given fresh hope of signing Lionel Messi. The 35-year-old forward faces an increasingly uncertain future at Paris Saint-Germain for various reasons, and he's already been heavily linked with moves to some of the world's richest clubs.
Messi sees his contract in the French capital expire at the end of the season, making him a free agent in the summer. While the Argentina international is yet to commit his long-term future to the Parisians, it seems as if he has burned his bridges with PSG.
The seven-time Ballon d'Or winner has recently been suspended by the French giants for going on a trip to Saudi Arabia without the club's permission. According to Sky Sports, Messi asked for permission from PSG to travel to the country, which he did on Sunday, after having already postponed the venture twice, but he was not given the green light.
