“Why I joined PSG after leaving Barcelona” – Messi Reveals

In an exclusive interview with Bein Sports, soccer superstar Lionel Messi has opened up about his decision to join Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) after bidding farewell to Barcelona in 2021. The Argentine forward cited several reasons for his choice, including the financial issues that plagued his former club.

Having spent his entire professional career at Barcelona, Messi left the Spanish giants as a free agent amid their well-documented financial challenges. The departure marked an emotional chapter in Messi’s career, as he sought new opportunities elsewhere.

Following his departure, the 35-year-old football icon was unveiled by PSG, the reigning champions of Ligue 1. Messi’s two-year tenure with the French club has recently concluded, as he gears up to embark on a new adventure in the Major League Soccer (MLS) with Inter Miami.

When asked about his decision to join PSG, Messi explained, “I came to Paris because I liked the club and had friends there, and a lot of people I knew from the national team. It seemed easier for me to adapt unlike anywhere else I could have gone, and that’s why I decided to come to Paris.”

During his time at PSG, Messi enjoyed the opportunity to reunite with his international teammates Angel Di Maria and Leandro Paredes, further solidifying his connection to the club.

As the football world eagerly awaits Messi’s next chapter in Miami, fans will reflect on his brief but impactful spell in Paris, where his immense talent and contribution on the field left an indelible mark.
