Lionel Messi will play his final game for Paris St-Germain against Clermont on Saturday, says manager Christophe Galtier.



Messi, who joined on a free transfer from Barcelona in July 2021, helped PSG win two successive Ligue 1 titles. 


PSG increased security at the homes of Messi, forward Neymar, midfielder Marco Verratti and Galtier last month following protest from fans.


It followed a defeat by Lorient and Messi being suspended for two weeks after travelling to Saudi Arabia without PSG's permission. He later apologised to his team-mates.


Messi captained Argentina to victory at the 2022 World Cup and, following his return from the tournament, appeared set to stay at PSG.
