Lionel Messi is back to PSG training

Lionel Messi was recently handed a two week suspension by PSG for his 'unauthorised' Saudi Arabia trip. Messi traveled to the Middle Eastern country a day after the Parisians' 3-1 home loss against Lorient.

While Messi didn't take part in the clash against Troyes, the Argentine was spotted back in training. The seven-time Ballon d'Or winner previously issued an apology statement, saying (via his Instagram story):

“I thought we were going to have a day off after the game, as it always does. I had this trip organised and couldn't cancel it. I had already cancelled it before. I apologise to my teammates, and I'm waiting for what the club wants to do with me.”

Messi is currently in the final months of his PSG contract and hasn't yet extended his deal. Transfer expert Fabrizio Romano reported that the 2022 FIFA World Cup winner will leave Les Parisiens at the end of the 2022-23 season.

Messi has been linked with a return to Barcelona. However, there are financial complications for a move to materialize. He reportedly also has a €320 million per year offer from Saudi Pro League club Al-Hilal. It will be interesting to follow Messi's next move.
