Lionel Messi has left Paris Saint-Germain for MLS club Inter Miami, leaving behind Kylian Mbappe, whose future is up in the air as the summer transfer window opens.
Messi, 35, has left PSG and agreed to join Inter Miami in the United States, indicating that he is ready to call it quits on his remarkable career. The Argentine icon had a rough two years in Paris, failing to win the Champions League and facing criticism from fans for a perceived lack of devotion, but Mbappe believes he ‘earned more respect’ in the French city.
“We are talking about potentially the greatest player in the history of football,” said the PSG attacker, who has been at the center of a transfer crisis in recent days. told La Gazzetta dello Sport. “It’s never good news when someone like Messi leaves. I don’t quite understand why so many people were so relieved that he was gone. He didn’t get the respect he deserved in France. It’s a shame.”

Barcelona were optimistic about his comeback, but Messi ultimately concluded that returning to Catalonia would be too difficult.
“I really wanted to come back to Barcelona, I was really looking forward to it,” the 35-year-old explained in an interview with Sport. “But, on the other hand, after having lived through what I lived through, after the exit I had… I didn’t want to go through the same situation again and have to wait to see what was going to happen.
