Jérôme Rothen said on Wednesday he believed Lionel Messi would not return to Paris Saint-Germain after being suspended for two weeks following an unauthorized trip to Saudi Arabia.
"We are moving directly towards the dismissal of the player", began by saying the former French international, who was contractually linked to the Parisian emblem, between 2004 and 2011.
"We cannot wait for Leo Messi to spend 15 days away from the club and return body and soul to play. He bothered the club so much with this trip that they saw it as a blow", continued the now comment.
"It is Paris Saint-Germain's wish. I say, with 99% certainty, that we will not see Leo Messi play for PSG again. They no longer wanted to renew with him. Even without this case, Messi would not stay", he added.
