Lionel Messi’s main objective this year is near. Qatar 2022 is less than three weeks away from starting and the Argentinian is already thinking about it, so he made a request to PSG for the FIFA World Cup that jeopardizes their relationship.

In November 22, Argentina will begin its journey through Qatar 2022. The Albiceleste is seen as one of the best teams in the tournament and of course Lionel Messi is the biggest star in the team as today.

Argentina’s hopes are on what Lionel Messi could do and he knows it. As the captain, he has a great responsibility, so he tried to make a move toincrease their odds to win the next FIFA World Cup, but PSG is not willing to agree with him.

Lionel Messi’s request to PSG that jeopardizes their relationship

Since Lionel Messi arrived to PSG, it was reported that the club made almost everything possible for him to join the club. Allegedly, he had some special benefits as he is one of the best players of the world and the team wanted him to be comfortable in Paris.

After a year with PSG, Messi is living one of the best moments in his career recently, but why? Well, he is motivated for the FIFA World Cup and wants to prove himself at Qatar 2022, so he is giving his best in every single match with his club.

But even though he is performing very well, he’s still set to show his best this November. The FIFA World Cup is the big missing trophy in Messi’s showcase, so it is his main objective this year.

For this reason, Lionel Messi made a request to Christophe Galtier, PSG’s coach. The Argentinian forward asked not be part of the squad starting this November 6 so he could be with his National team as soon as possible.

Messi has a clause in his PSG contract that Argentina’s National team is his priority. Unfortunately, the request didn’t proceed as FIFA rules say that they will start paying the clubs for each player that goes to the World Cup from November 9.

According to Andres Yossen, Argentinian journalist, Messi will be part of PSG’s squad that faces Auxerre in November 13. A day after, he is set to join Argentina’s National team, nine days before their first game at Qatar 2022 against Saudi Arabia.
