PSG forgives Messi's fine.
Lionel Messi's comeback to Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) could be in jeopardy, as the football icon's contract with the French club is set to expire at the end of the current season. Despite the possibility of Messi making his return in PSG's next Ligue 1 match against Ajaccio on May 13, recent updates suggest that he is currently recovering from a hamstring injury sustained in early August 2025 [3][5][4].
Messi has had an impressive run with PSG this season, scoring 20 goals and providing 19 assists in 37 games across various tournaments [1]. However, his recent unsanctioned trip to Saudi Arabia and subsequent missed training sessions have sparked negative sentiment among PSG fans [2]. Protests have been held outside the club's office, calling for Messi's immediate removal.
The sentiment among PSG fans could potentially affect Messi's future with the club. Meanwhile, neither Messi nor PSG seem interested in renewing his contract [6]. The club's current success, highlighted by their record nine nominations for the Ballon d’Or and a dominant Champions League title run, underscores a new era for PSG driven by players like Mbappé and Dembélé rather than Messi [1].
While Messi fans have hoped for a return to Barcelona rather than PSG this year [2], the French club is pursuing Ligue 1 and European success with its current squad. The potential impact of Messi on the Ligue 1 title race this season is not applicable since he remains in Major League Soccer (MLS) with Inter Miami and is not involved in the French league action.
As PSG continues to thrive without Messi, the question of whether he will return to the French club remains unanswered. For now, the focus is on PSG's upcoming match against Ajaccio, where they could potentially secure the Ligue 1 championship title if their main rivals, Lens and Marseille, lose points in their respective matches.
