Messi's future at the club was already in doubt especially in the manner in which he was suspended by the club for two weeks for an unauthorised trip to Saudi Arabia without taking permission from the PSG management.
During the time he remains on the sidelines, he won't be able to train or practice with the club and even his fees will be docked off for this duration. Meanwhile, there has been talk of his return to FC Barcelona, where he spent the majority of his career. However, no official confirmation regarding the same has come.
