Lionel Messi: Al Hilal, Barcelona or Inter Miami - where will he play next season?

It looks increasingly likely Lionel Messi will bid 'au revoir' to Paris Saint-Germain at the end of this season with speculation as to the Argentine's next destination in overdrive.

The 35-year-old was hit with a two-week suspension on Tuesday after the club said a recent family trip to Saudi Arabia was not authrorised.

Messi's contract at the Parc des Princes expires in June, with French daily L'Equipe reporting that the club's Qatari owners will not take up the option for a 12-month extension.

Messi's recent trip to the Saudi Arabia has caused considerable consternation.

The player was of the understanding that the PSG squad would be given two days off after last Sunday's Ligue 1 match against Lorient, only for coach Christophe Galtier to walk back that decision and order his squad back in for training on the Monday after the Parisians suffered a 3-1 loss.

As my colleague Ian Hawkey wrote Wednesday, Messi had pre-arranged a 48-hour trip to Riyadh, to honour a commitment to the Saudi Arabia tourism authority, for whom he is an official ambassador. He went ahead with it. While he was in Saudi Arabia with his family, images of them heavily promoted by Saudi officials, his teammates trained on Monday.

PSG president Nasser Al Khelaifi appears to have been unsatisfied with Messi's version of events and hit the player with a two-week suspension and a fine equal to a fortnight’s salary.

Messi's links with Saudi would make the Kingdom an obvious choice for his next move.
