Only the stamped papers are missing but the divorce between Leo Messi and Paris Saint Germain is now a fact.

And already there are rumors about the new arrival of the Argentine champion: Saudi Arabia, the Premier League, the USA or a sensational return to Barcelona?

These are the accredited hypotheses, now taking for granted the farewell to the more modest French championship.

The suspension of the Argentine champion for two weeks by the Parisian club is the latest stage in a "detachment" that started months ago, when the 'Pulce' let it be understood that he did not want to renew his expiring contract.

PSG yesterday suspended Messi because he allegedly left Paris to go to Arabia without permission and skipped training.

But according to the Spanish media - especially those closest to Barcelona - the 15-day stop would instead be only "revenge" for having said "no" to the French.

"Messi left to fulfill a commercial contract in Arabia. The club had granted him permission two days earlier, knowing that all players would have a break from training both Monday and Tuesday - writes Sport.es -. PSG then changed plans without warning".

And then there is "the disproportion of the sanction imposed on Messi compared to the wide sleeve shown in recent years with Neymar's absences to go to his sister's birthday or the harmful statements made by the club by Mbappé".

In the background, the hope that the world champion Argentina captain can return to Barca:

some online periodicals have already relaunched the figures for a possible return.

But the Blaugrana track remains difficult: the Catalan fans launch the "Messi, Messi" chant at every game but the club president has clearly said that the club is already having difficulty in rebalancing the accounts and that "we have no taps with oil " to finance the operation.

"Taps" which PSQ has, but above all Arabia.

The Saudis are hoping to convince Messi to end his career in their league in order to recreate the historic rivalry with Cristiano Ronaldo, who plays for Al Nassr, and relaunch his bid to host the World Cup.

It would be a double whammy for the Dubai cousins: 'snapping' the most famous player and at least catching up with the organization of the World Cup.

There is talk of a contract worth 400 million for one year, but these rumors have no official confirmation at the moment.

Messi is tempting for his notoriety and the number of sponsors that his image is capable of moving.

For this reason, the Premier League is also looking to the "Pulce" with the rich Newcastle indicated as the main interested party.

Finally, the hypothesis that at the moment appears more concrete: the end of his career in the USA as many European and South American champions have already done before Messi: from Kakà to David Beckham.

Just last week the English champion visited the Paris Saint Germain training center, posing for some photos in the company of the seven-time Ballon d'Or winner.

Beckham himself has a stake in Inter Miami, a team that has not officially denied its interest in the former Barca player.
