Lionel Messi has spoken of his difficult two seasons at Paris Saint-Germain and the negative impact it had on his family life.
The Argentine superstar confirmed on Wednesday night that he was joining MLS club Inter Miami in a wide-ranging interview discussing the decision. It came following the conclusion of his two-year stay in the French capital.
Messi spoke of his decision to move to Florida despite having other options on the table. In an apparent meeting between father and agent Jorge Messi and Barca President Joan Laporta on Tuesday ramped up rumours that Messi would again make his mark at the club where he scored an incredible 672 goals over a 17-year stint, two years after his exit.
Reports had outlined how the Argentine has struggled to settle in Paris for multiple reasons. It had been claimed that he and his family struggled to fluently speak French, which is perhaps unsurprising, despite the club having organised private language lessons for them.
It was also claimed that Messi and his young family also missed the weather of the Catalan capital with Paris instead of having a cooler climate with more rain.
Messi lived his opening months in Paris in the Royal Monceau hotel to live in the Neuilly sur Seine area of Paris in a 300-square-meter house which is close to their Argentine compatriots Angel di Maria and Leandro Paredes.
