Messi heads to Argentina after his star faded in Paris

Argentine star Lionel Messi has left the French capital, Paris, on his way to join his country, which is preparing for the final round of the South American qualifiers for the 2022 World Cup in Qatar.

And widespread speculation was raised about Messi's future with Paris Saint-Germain, and it seemed that his former team, Barcelona, ​​​​opened the door to the possibility of his return to the Camp Nou, which he left crying last August.

Messi came close to winning the French League title in his first season with Paris Saint-Germain, but the exit from the Champions League and the French Cup negatively affected the team.

Messi was booed by Saint-Germain fans during the 3-0 defeat to Bordeaux before losing to Real Madrid in the Champions League.

Messi, who has one year left in his contract with Saint-Germain, seems confident that he will receive the heroes' welcome in his country, which he traveled to ahead of schedule after missing the 3-goal defeat against Monaco due to a cold.

Messi traveled to Argentina on a private plane, accompanied by his colleagues Angel de Maria and Leandro Paredes, in preparation for meeting Venezuela on Friday and then Ecuador four days later.
