Lionel Messi ’s time at Paris Saint-Germain has not been a universally happy one since his high-profile summer transfer from Barcelona last year.
The Argentine has netted just two domestic goals across 19 appearances since his move to the French capital this summer. Recent reports have indicated that Messi is unhappy in Paris as he has failed to settle in the city and at the club for multiple reasons, with the potential of cutting short his two-year contract at the club.
Talk of Messi returning to Barcelona has subsequently been talked up by the club’s president Joan Laporta. However, the Blaugrana chief has since performed a u-turn on this stance by pouring cold water on such suggestions and claiming that there had been no contact between the two in recent months.
