Paris Saint-Germain Football Club have suspended Argentine superstar, Lionel Messi, for two weeks over an unauthorised visit to Saudi Arabia.
According to reports from RMC Sport and L’Equipe the former Barcelona player travelled to Saudi Arabia, apparently without getting prior approval from the club.
The reports said everything had been considered by the club for what is described internally as a “serious mistake” by the football star.
Messi is understood to have asked PSG for permission, having twice postponed a scheduled commercial trip there previously due to team defeats.
However, Messi did not get approval and has now been fined two weeks’ wages.
He will sit out league games against Troyes and Ajaccio.
Meanwhile, L’Equipe reports that the Ligue 1 leaders will no longer offer Messi a contract extension. This means Messi will leave Paris Saint-Germain this summer current deal runs out at the end of this season.
