“It’s a Prison and There’s Blackmail” – 13 Days After Lionel Messi’s Exit From PSG, Dark Side of French Giants Revealed

Lionel Messi sent shockwaves after announcing his departure from PSG to join MLS club Inter Miami. The Argentine labeled his stay in Paris as ‘unhappy.’ And why not? The way PSG handled the situation around Messi after Ultras’ protest and booing was not taken well by him or his fans. 

The seven-time Ballon d’Or had to apologize for his Saudi Arabia trip. And it served as the last nail in the coffin. The former Barcelona superstar decided to move on. It seems the dust has settled after Messi’s departure. But then the Kylian Mbappe saga took over. Amid this, whispers from shadows are emerging now, with a soccer agent shedding light on the dark side of PSG.

Explosive revelations by soccer agent over PSG

Donato Di Campli recently spoke to a Spanish outlet Relevo where he lifted the lid over how things take place at PSG. In an explosive interview, he labeled the club without soul and prison. Campli once represented Les Parisiens’ superstar Marco Verratti, who changed his allegiances after FC Barcelona transfer drama.

Campli said, “In Paris, the players are imprisoned. You never do what they want but the club; it’s a prison, and there’s blackmail.” “My experience with them is very bad. They only care about money. It’s a club that has no soul. They do not let out because the emir and Al Khelaifi think that everything is ‘buyable’, and that they can conquer the world only with money. But it has already been seen that it is not possible,” Campli added.

The soccer agent also recalled why Verratti changed his allegiances. “PSG’s attitude is always one of blackmail. We decided to go to Barcelona. That, obviously, did not please the emir. Al Khelaifi even told me that if I kept trying to do the operation with Barça, Verratti was going to leave me. And so it ended up happening,” he added. 

Lionel Messi finally ended his unhappy PSG stint

Who could have thought fans would boo Messi? But the PSG Ultras did the unthinkable. There was a drastic change from day one when the seven-time Ballon d’Or winner got wild reception. But as the days went by, things started getting sour. PSG Ultras continuously booed Messi, even during title celebrations.

His Saudi Arabia business trip garnered criticism from the club and the fans. He had to apologize publicly for it. His lack of performances during crucial games attracted more scrutiny. Nothing was going right for the Argentine. He decided to reject PSG’s extension offer and ended the unhappy association with the club when his contract ran down.
