The world champion became the ambassador of the Saudi Arabian tourist office for a contract estimated at 30 million euros and made this trip without the authorization of Paris Saint-Germain. “I had organized this trip and I couldn’t cancel it. I had already canceled it before,” continues Lionel Messi. Faced with a fait accompli, PSG ended up reacting 24 hours later by deciding to suspend their player for two weeks.
