Paris Saint-Germain boss Christophe Galtier was critical of the club’s fans after Lionel Messi was booed during Sunday’s Ligue 1 defeat against Lyon.
Messi joined PSG on a two-year contract in the summer of 2021 – with his deal up for renewal in June and talks currently stalled. After a difficult debut campaign in Paris, he has netted 18 goals and provided 19 assists this season and has spoken of his happiness at adapting to life in France this term.
However, his future at PSG looks more uncertain than ever. Alongside Sergio Ramos, his contract talks have been put on hold by the Ligue 1 giants amid the threat of Champions League sanctions due to the club’s breach of Financial Fair Play regulations over wages – with neither player countenancing a wage reduction.
