Lionel Messi has released an open acknowledgment to Paris Holy person Germain and his colleagues in the wake of being given a fourteen day suspension for an unapproved occasion to Saudi Arabia.


After PSG's 3-1 home loss to Lorient on Sunday, Messi, 35, took a family vacation in Saudi Arabia and was supposed to train with the team. Instead, he was suspended by PSG.


I apologize to my teammates and am awaiting the club's decision regarding me."


The Argentine superstar, who led his country to World Cup glory in Qatar, is a tourism ambassador for Visit Saudi and may soon move to the Kingdom on a more permanent basis.


The seven-time Ballon d'Or winner Messi's PSG contract is set to expire at the end of the season. While there had been a previous agreement that both the player and the club were willing to extend, it now appears likely that he will leave.


There are rumors that Saudi giants Al Hilal, MLS side Inter Miami, and former club Barcelona are interested in bringing Messi to the Saudi Pro League. Al Hilal are aiming to win the Asian Champions League on Saturday.


PSG administrator Christophe Galtier expressed before on Friday that he had "with time to spare" with the club's choice to suspend Messi, who is set to miss the following two matches at Troyes and home to Ajaccio as they hope to watch out for their Ligue 1 lead.


The issue has brought to light the apparent deterioration of the World Cup winner's relationship with PSG, as there have been rumors that he will leave the club in the summer.


Messi said in a video posted on Instagram: " Due to everything going on, I wanted to make this video.


First and foremost, I would like to apologize to my teammates and the club. After the game, just like in previous weeks, I honestly believed that we would be free.


I had planned this trip to Saudi Arabia, which I had previously had to cancel, but this time I was unable to do so. I apologize once more and will be present for the club's decision. Best wishes.”
