L'Equipe: PSG won't extend Messi's contract 

French sports newspaper L'Equipe reported that Paris Saint-Germain will not extend the contract of Argentine striker Lionel Messi because of his travel to Saudi Arabia without permission. Messi signed a two-season contract with the option to extend for another season when he joined the French champions in 2021. Following Paris Saint-Germain's shocking decision to suspend Lionel Messi for two weeks, L'Equipe has reported that the club will not renew the star player's contract.L'Equipe states that not extending the 35-year-old forward's contract had been previously discussed. Messi would only be available for three more matches for PSG after missing the games after his suspension is served. Sources confirmed that PSG handed Messi the suspension as a punishment for missing training to take a trip to Saudi Arabia without permission. The Argentine will not play or train during his suspension period and also will not be paid, but it seems as though the impact of his trip will be even longer lasting. Messi will miss the next two league matches against Troyes and Ajaccio, but he may return against Auxerre on May 21. PSG leads the standings with 75 points from 33 matches, five points ahead of second-placed Olympique de Marseille.
