The Argentine recently traveled to Saudi Arabia for a trip. The club labeled it unauthorized, and PSG gave Messi a two-week suspension. It obviously came as a shock to many, but PSG fans took the opportunity to slam the former Barcelona superstar.

One of the fans wrote, “Messi never cared about PSG. He puts half the effort in when playing for them compared to playing for Argentina.” One fan thinks Messi’s dictatorial tactics aren’t working at the club. Another fan labeled him disrespectful. There were a few fans who felt the player is struggling after leaving his comfort zone at Barcelona. Many feel no one is bigger than the club, and players need to maintain discipline.

They have tabled a few offers to Messi, with a minimum base salary and part of the merchandise sale going to him.
