"I would like to see him finish his career at Barca, it's a wish," the Arsenal legend told Amazon Prime Video. "But the boos last time didn't help. I'm happy to see him in the French league.

It is all they have left to play for. "The problem in Paris is that once the main objective is no longer reachable, everyone says the season is finished," observed Lyon coach Laurent Blanc, in charge of PSG from 2013 to 2016, of the job facing Galtier. There is no suggestion PSG will listen to offers for Mbappe this year, but the future of Galtier is very much up in the air after an underwhelming first season in charge. PSG must ponder whether it is wise to retain an ageing player who is costing it around 40 million euros ($43.6 million) a year in salary at a time when the club has to keep in line with UEFA's Financial Fair Play rules. "Every spring, after their elimination from the Champions League, the Parisian players display their lack of interest for all things Ligue 1 and make you doubt that the Parc des Princes is their favorite place to spend an evening in Paris," wrote Vincent Duluc in sports daily L'Equipe. As a consequence, PSG's apparent march towards a record 11th French title -- and a ninth in 12 seasons of Qatari ownership -- has been slowed and their lead at the top of the table from Lens and Marseille is down to six points with nine games left.

But a return to Barcelona is not going to be a cakewalk with the Catalan club still in the middle of a financial crisis.

After his return from the World Cup in Qatar where Argentina famously beat France in the final, Messi received a warm welcome at his French club, allaying fears of a hostile reception. A week after being feted by his adoring countrymen in Argentina during two friendly matches organised to celebrate the World Cup triumph in Qatar, Lionel Messi has been at the receiving end of whistles and jeers in Paris.

Should Messi ever join a team in the U.S., he'd be, by far, the most meaningful signing that the league would have acquired in the modern era.

Messi looks to be on his way out of Paris after PSG asks him to reduce his wages. Could the long-rumored move to MLS be next?

The dark horse in the race to sign Messi is Saudi club Al Ittihad. If Lionel Messi does leave PSG he will of course have options, but it’s fair to wonder what will appeal to him. Messi is taking the brunt of the blame for PSG’s failures on the field. PSG officials have their doubts the 35-year-old can score goals in the Champions League when they need him to. This weekend home supporters booed Messi for a second time as his name was announced in the starting lineup. Things with Lionel Messi and PSG continue to deteriorate.
