Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) has suspended soccer superstar Lionel Messi for two weeks following an unauthorized trip to Saudi Arabia with his family (CBS Sports). Messi’s decision to travel without the club’s permission has caused shockwaves through the team, leading to PSG ultras referring to him as a “son of a b***h” and protesting outside Neymar’s house to demand he also leaves (MARCA).
Messi’s suspension comes as his contract with PSG continues to wind down, with only a few weeks remaining (CBS Sports). Already, the star player is rumored to be on the verge of receiving an extraordinary offer of $400 million a year to play soccer in Saudi Arabia (Sportsnaut).
The suspension follows Messi’s trip to Saudi Arabia, where he invited his family to explore the country in a first public approach between the player and the Arabian destination (El Futbolero US). However, the unauthorized journey led to the Argentine World Cup-winning captain being suspended for “several days” by the French club (Hindustan Times).
Lionel Messi’s suspension has led to reactions from the sports world, with many expressing concern and disappointment over this unfortunate news (The Spun).
