‘Whoever says Messi is happy at PSG is lying’, reveals reliable investigative journalist

Lionel Messi’s move to Paris Saint-Germain from Barcelona has been anything but a success so far.

The Argentine international completed a shock transfer to Paris last summer after the Blaugrana could not renew his contract due to the club’s financial constraints. PSG were happy to lure him to Parc des Princes, handing him a two-year deal with an option of another year.

However, the 34-year-old has had to endure a very slow start to life in the French capital. In 25 matches across all competitions in his debut season for Les Parisiens, Messi has scored just seven goals, only two of which have come in Ligue 1 from 17 games.

Those are not the numbers one would associate with someone as prolific as Messi. There have been glimpses of the seven-time Ballon d’Or winner’s undisputed quality every now and then, but more often than not, the former Barcelona captain has underwhelmed.

And, investigative journalist Romain Molina, speaking to Cadena SER, has claimed that the 2021 Copa America winner is unhappy at his current club. “Whoever says Messi is happy at PSG is lying,” he said.

This comes after former Barcelona superstar and French legend Thierry Henry suggested that Messi was struggling emotionally following his shock switch to PSG.

“When Lionel cried on leaving Barcelona, that wasn’t part of the plan. When you think you’re never going to leave somewhere, and then suddenly it happens, it creates an emotional shock. People say, ‘he’s fine, he’s got everything he needs in Paris’, but it’s not that simple,” he had said.

Despite having a loaded frontline of Messi, Neymar and Kylian Mbappe, PSG were dumped out of the UEFA Champions League by Barcelona’s arch-rivals Real Madrid earlier this week.

It will only add more fuel to the speculations surrounding Messi and his situation at Parc des Princes. There have been rumours of a potential return to Barcelona in the summer, but Fabrizio Romano believes that such a scenario is unlikely to materialise.
