Lionel Messi is "not enjoying himself" at PSG, according to Dani Alves, who believes his former Barcelona teammate is "out of place" at Parc des Princes.
During his 21-year tenure at Barcelona, Messi established himself as the club's all-time leading scorer while also winning multiple Liga and Champions League titles.
The Camp Nou faithful had to say goodbye to the Argentine last summer as the club took drastic steps to reduce their wage bill, with PSG snatching him up on a free transfer, but he has yet to replicate his best form in France.
What has been said?
Alves, who was a teammate of Messi's at Barcelona from 2008 to 2016, believes the 34-year-old has lost some of his passion for the game since leaving Spain.
"No, he is not having a good time at PSG, because Leo makes this game special, and he does it when he is having a good time, because when he is having a good time, the others enjoy it." "ESPN quoted the Brazilian right-back as saying.
"It's out of place for me, and right now Leo is out of place there."
Because Leo, in my opinion, lived in the best place in the world to do what he enjoys."
Messi's difficulties at PSG
Messi has only scored seven goals and provided 11 assists in 26 appearances for PSG across all competitions.
The organization
Messi is under contract at Parc des Princes until 2023, with an option for an additional year, but Alves believes he will be considering a return to Camp Nou.
"Leo used to say, 'Where are you going to be better than here?'
There is no better place than here, according to my research.
"Even when it became clear that he was leaving, I sent him the same message that he told me," the Barcelona star explained.
"For whatever reason, he isn't here, and I hope he can return."
I'm not sure, but if he comes, let him come here with me and enjoy at least a little more of everything."
Everyone who leaves here regrets it, everyone.
Some people will say no, because they don't like to lose, but all the people who leave regret it, because it's better here than anywhere."
