Sources told ESPN the situation created tension within the dressing room, with some players unhappy about the incident.<\/p>\n<p>Sources said that an agreement in principle was found between PSG and Messi before the World Cup for him to sign a new deal in Paris, but the situation has since changed.<\/p>\n<p>On Wednesday, several hundred PSG supporters gathered outside the club\u2019s Paris headquarters to express their anger at Messi, as well as teammate Neymar and president Nasser al-Khelaifi. A small group of supporters later protested outside Neymar\u2019s home, calling on him to leave the club.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cParis Saint-Germain most strongly condemns the intolerable and insulting actions of a small group of individuals that took place on Wednesday,\u201d the Ligue 1 club said in a statement.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhatever the differences of opinion, nothing justifies such actions. The Club gives its full support to its players, its staff and all those targeted by such shameful behaviour.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Messi, 35, has failed to replicate his excellent World Cup form with PSG, and the club doubt whether he can still deliver in big Champions League matches.<\/p>\n<p>Sources told ESPN that there is an offer from Saudi Arabia for Messi and he is aware of interest from former club Barcelona and Major League Soccer club Inter Miami.<\/p>\n<p>Barcelona are looking into the possibility of re-signing Messi, although LaLiga president Javier Tebas warned that the league won\u2019t change its financial fair play rules to allow him to return.<\/p>\n<p><!-- AI CONTENT END 2 -->\n\t<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Lionel Messi Lionel Messi will leave Paris Saint-Germain at the end of the season when his contract expires, sources told ESPN.
