A former Paris Saint-Germain star says the club need to admit that transfer of Lionel Messi has been a failure.
The seven-time Ballon d'Or winner joined PSG on a free transfer from FC Barcelona in 2021, but it has not been smooth sailing.
The Argentine superstar finished with ten goals in his first season with the club, although he has already reached 16 goals this campaign.

Former France and PSG midfielder has been quite critical of Messi's time in the French capital over the past two years.
"Lionel Messi has been an anomaly since he arrived. It's hard to talk like that about such a player who has marked the history of football so much," the former PSG star told RMC Sport.
"But that's the reality unfortunately in relation to his investment and in relation to his performance. Quite simply. He can't get through the course, for many reasons. Most certainly he feels a bit orphaned by Barcelona.
"Even if he says that in his life today it has improved, you can't see it on the pitch.
"It can't be seen, there's no particular fulfilment on the pitch apart from maybe the free kick at the last second against Lille.
"I'm totally in the direction of the club today. Luis Campos must take responsibility, admit that the arrival of Lionel Messi was not necessarily a good thing and that it was a failure."
