Paris Saint-Germain reportedly opted not to extend Lionel Messi\u2019s contract after learning about his unapproved travel to Saudi Arabia. <\/p>\n

The 35-year-old travelled to the Middle East following PSG\u2019s shock 3-1 loss to Lorient on Sunday. According to reports, Messi\u2019s duties as the Gulf state\u2019s tourist ambassador included travel. <\/p>\n

Even though there was supposed to be training that day, it was revealed on Tuesday that the club had not given their approval. As a result, the Argentine received a two-week suspension without pay; nevertheless, L\u2019Equipe is apparently demanding a much harsher punishment.<\/p>\n

It is now widely accepted that PSG will not renew Messi\u2019s contract after the current season. Although it has been widely reported that the Argentine star\u2019s current contract will expire this summer, the capital club did have the option to activate a provision for a third season. <\/p>\n

Senior club officials apparently preferred to let Messi leave, but negotiations were still ongoing and a contract extension was still a possibility. Messi\u2019s departure from Barcelona this summer appears to have been decided, nevertheless, as a result of the trip to Saudi Arabia.<\/p>\n

Now that the current season is over, it is obvious that PSG will not renew Messi\u2019s contract. The Argentine star\u2019s current deal, as has been widely documented, is set to expire this summer; but, the capital club did have the option to activate a provision for a third season. <\/p>\n

Senior club officials were said to be leaning towards letting Messi leave, but negotiations were still ongoing and a contract extension was still a possibility. The trip to Saudi Arabia now appears to have been the determining factor, and Messi\u2019s departure this summer is set.<\/p>\n
