I do not care where Lionel Messi plays his club football- Lionel Scaloni
Lionel Scaloni the coach of Argentina's World Cup-winning team, has said that he is not concerned about where Lionel Messi plays his club football as long as he is happy and comfortable. Messi's future at Paris Saint Germain (PSG) has been the subject of much speculation after the club suspended him for missing a training session to take a trip to Saudi Arabia. Reports have suggested that a move to a Saudi club is a "done deal", but Messi's father has denied this and said that no decisions will be made until the end of the season.
Scaloni told Qatar's Al-Kass channel that he does not care where Messi plays his club football, as long as he feels comfortable with his teammates and the club's fans. He added that Messi's club football does not affect Argentina's national team, as long as he is happy when he joins them and they need him to be happy.
Messi, who recently apologised to PSG and his teammates, returned to training on Monday. A source close to Messi told Reuters that he had received a formal offer to join the Saudi club Al-Hilal next season, with a contract renewal at PSG not on the cards for the World Cup winner. Saudi Arabia appointed Messi as a tourism ambassador last year, and he visited Jeddah in May 2022. He also played a friendly match with PSG against a Saudi All Stars team in January, which included Cristiano Ronaldo.
The speculation surrounding Messi's future has caused much discussion among football fans and experts, with many wondering if he will leave PSG after just one season. However, Scaloni's comments suggest that his focus is on the national team, and he is not overly concerned about where Messi plays his club football . This is likely to be a relief for Messi, who has had a difficult time at PSG this season.
Messi joined PSG from Barcelona last summer, and there were high hopes that he would help the club win the Champions League. However, despite some impressive performances, PSG were knocked out of the competition in the semi-finals by Manchester City. They also lost the Ligue 1 title to Lille, which was a major disappointment for the club's owners.
Despite this, Messi has been a key player for PSG this season, scoring 30 goals in all competitions. He has also formed a strong partnership with Kylian Mbappe, and the two players are seen as crucial to PSG's hopes of success in the future.
It remains to be seen where Messi will play his club football next season, but it is clear that his national team coach is not overly concerned about this. For Messi, the most important thing is likely to be finding a club where he can feel happy and comfortable, and where he can continue to play at the highest level. Whether this will be at PSG, a Saudi club, or somewhere else entirely remains to be seen.
