Lionel Messijoined Paris Saint-Germainin the summer transfer window as probably the biggest move inthe transfer market, but after four months it seems that the Argentine could be starting to regret moving to Paris.
Reports in Argentina have revealedthat almost nothing works in the relationship between the forwardand the Parisians, so it isspeculated that he is in aconflict with the PSG management, and has a bad relationship with his teammates, except with Neymar and Angel Di Maria. In addition, it is believed thathisfamily can not get used to life in the French capital.
Messi and his closest friends accused the French media of creating a witch hunt against the former Barcelona starwho has started off the season struggling in theFrench Ligue 1, only to starin theRed-and-Blues jersey in the UEFA Champions League.

French publications L’Équipe andLe Parisien don’t quite give the34-year-old creditfor his games, constantly giving him lower player ratings, and it seems thatthere are two reasons for that. The Argentine is accustomed to a far different treatment in the Catalan media who worshipped him while during his 21-year-stay at the Camp Nou,while the otherreason could bethat both newspapersare very close to Paris Saint-Germain’s management.
Therefore, Leo Messi‘s father and agent, Jorge, considers that the criticism in these media is, in fact, a hidden message by the PSG hierarchy, suggesting that they are notsatisfied with the Argentine’s performances so farand they expect him to start delivering. In addition, it is speculated that the French powerhouse’s boardis not contentwith the relationship between their main starand coach Mauricio Pochettino.
Allegedly, Messi repeatedly told Pochettino that he did not understand what the coach was asking of him, in front of the other players, thus questioning and undermining his compatriot’sauthority.Moreover, it is suggested that Messi’s wife Antonella Roccuzzo and their three childrenmiss Barcelona and the life that they had in Spain.
