Lionel Messi’s father denies any ‘verbal’ or ‘written’ deal with club for next season

The transfer market is not yet open that the future of Lionel Messi is in the center of all eyes. Quoting a “Saudi source close to the negotiations”, AFP argued on Tuesday, May 9, that the Argentinian would play for a Saudi club next season. Information publicly denied by Jorge Messi, the father and one of the player’s agents, in a press release published on social networks.

“There is absolutely nothing with any club for the coming year. The decision will not be made until Lionel finishes the championship with PSG, supported him. There are always rumors and many people use Lionel’s name to gain notoriety but the truth is otherwise. We can assure that there is no agreement with anyone, whether verbal, written, or agreed and there won’t be until the season is over.“

Contacted by AFP and Franceinfo, the club from the capital refused to comment on the future of its player, but recalled that his contract would end on June 30. Sanctioned after his trip to Saudi Arabia while his teammates were training, Lionel Messi was not invited during the victory at Troyes on Sunday (3-1), but he returned to training on Monday. If the sevenfold Ballon d’Or does not extend the adventure in Paris, he technically has four Ligue 1 games left to play, with the objective of defending the title of champion of France won last season.
