Lionel Messi discloses shocker on PSG move

He spoke about the challenges he faced, particularly the difficult process of settling into a new city and living in a hotel for an extended period with his family. Adapting to a new school and environment proved to be a significant adjustment for his children.

“It was very, very, very difficult,” Messi admitted candidly. “We never, ever wanted to come [to Paris]. But the family supports me, and the decision was a collective one, not only mine.”

Despite the initial difficulties, Messi shared that his family has gradually adapted to life in Paris. However, there remains a lingering sense of sadness as their stay in the French capital was not part of their original plans.

“I heard reports of La Liga giving the green light but the truth is that many, really many things were still missing in order to make my return to Barça happen”, Lionel Messi was also quoted saying.

“I didn’t want to be responsible for them to sell players or reduce salaries. I was tired”.

As Messi prepares to embark on a new chapter in his football journey with Inter Miami, his unexpected revelation sheds light on the challenges and sacrifices he and his family have faced along the way.

Football enthusiasts worldwide eagerly anticipate witnessing Messi’s performances in the MLS, while his time at PSG will be remembered as an unexpected detour in his illustrious career.

With his impending move to Inter Miami, Messi is poised to captivate fans with his exceptional skills once again, as he continues to leave an indelible mark on the sport.

“I had to come to Paris, stay in a hotel for a long time with my family, with my children going to school and still being in the hotel,” Messi said.

“We never, ever wanted to come [to Paris]. It was very, very, very difficult, but the family supports me and it is a collective decision, not only mine.

“There is a tinge of sadness for them now, because while it was hard for them at the beginning, they are now more adapted to Paris.” was quoted as saying.
