Messi is set to leave PSG this summer after a two-year stay, with the Argentine being heavily linked with a move to Saudi Arabia that could see him earn £400 million each year.

The 35-year-old forward, who has also been touted to join former club Barcelona, was jeered on his final appearance for the French club – a 3-2 defeat to Clermont.

After the final whistle, teammate Neymar paid tribute to Messi.

"Brother... it didn't turn out as we thought but we tried everything," he said on Instagram. "It was a pleasure to share two more years with you. Good luck in your new stage and be happy. I love you."

Paris Saint-Germain also uploaded a tribute to the departing Messi, captioning a picture of the World Cup winner holding a gold-plated number 30 trophy with the words: '#MerciMessi'.

But the post received a huge amount of backlash. In fact, the Ligue 1 champions lost over 600,000 followers on social media at the weekend.

One of the many people who commented on the picture was Sergio Aguero's son, Benjamin Aguero, who is also the godson of Messi.

He wrote: "He was too big for you.”

What's next for Messi?

PSG are reportedly set to sign Marco Asensio as a replacement for Messi. The Real Madrid star had a medical on Monday as per reports in L'Equipe and is set to be announced by the club soon.

They are also trying to get in other players, with El Nacional reporting a possible swap deal with Manchester City. The Ligue 1 side are keen on exchanging Neymar for Bernardo Silva this summer.

Messi, on the other hand, is in talks with Barcelona over a possible return. La Liga have reportedly given the green signal for his signing and the forward prefers a return as well, as reported by Fabrizio Romano.

However, Messi will not be short on offers if he does not manage to rejoin Barcelona. Al-Hilal and Inter Miami have also tabled offers and are waiting in the wings to swoop in.

La Liga approves Messi’s return

Earlier, Sports Brief reported that Barcelona have been given the green light for the return of Messi.

The approval means that the club can now start taking action in the transfer market. They can now register the new contracts of Ronald Araujo and Gavi and announce new signings.

As indicated by Barca head coach, Xavi Hernandez, Messi is expected to make a decision on his future this week.
