He Paris Saint Germain and Lionel Messi divorceaccording to the French press, given the pressure on the club to reduce the wage bill and doubts about whether you need a thorough reconstruction of your squad.
Team technician Christopher Galtieralso on the trigger, after the last defeats in the league, the most recent last Sunday 0-1 against Lyon, they mean the club is unsure of the title this season.
For L’Equipe, the only chance for the Argentine star to stay in Paris is when his contract expires on June 30th. is that you are taking a significant reduction in your filesince PSG have to lose weight in their payroll to comply with the rules UEFA Financial Fair Play.
The sports newspaper indicates that the club has offered Messi a reduction a quarter of his millionaire salarybecause PSG “are not ready to do everything to keep La Pulga in their squad, given that in June he will already be 36 years old.
And he also remembers the last songs of the Sirens of Barcelona, who would like to return their historical figure in order to end their long relationship in the best possible way, even though the Catalan club’s financial situation (which should also lead to a drastic reduction in its salary mass) also prevents it from offering Messi a major contract.
Situation fits whistles and hoots to the Argentine star, like those heard last Sunday at the Parc des Princes when the public address system announced his name in the Parisian line-up, in contrast to the applause that came to local figure Kylian Mbappe.
Messi scored 12 goals and provided 14 assists in 19 games he played ahead of the World Cup in Qatar.but he barely scored 6 goals and three assists in 14 games after winning the world championship with his team.
Messi’s low game is for Le Parisien a “symbol of the decline” of PSG in recent months, after qualify for the Champions League again in the round of 16, this time against Bayern Munich.
Meanwhile, PSG could think very seriously about dispense with Galtier if he fails to correct course ship in the next league matches.
After the last defeats and nine games before the end, the Parisian club leads only in six points in favor of Lance and Marseilleso the championship could have eluded him after his great dream, the Champions League, vanished when he was once again eliminated in the round of 16.
Galtier is a matter of “weeks or days,” writes Le Parisien, which says that even if the coach finishes the season, there is very little chance that he will remain on the PSG bench.
For RMC Sports, if the coach does not assemble the team again in the next two league games, his period in the Parisian dugout could come to an abrupt end.
Coming in last season after a good performance at Lille (they won the 2020/21 league title), the manager has the same challenge as his predecessors: give the star team a recognizable and effective system of play.
According to Le Parisien, Galtier is accused of being “leniency” when it comes to the demands of the stars, while being “tough” on others. In addition, in recent weeks, his relationship with the club’s sports adviser, Portuguese Luis Campos, has deteriorated significantly.
