Messi was then slapped with a suspension by PSG for the unauthorised trip – although they later backed down.

In his first game back after the incident, the 35-year-old was jeered and whistled by some of the team’s supporters in their 5-0 win over Ajaccio.

Team-mate Danilo Pereira was left saddened by the fans’ reaction, saying: “The context is hard, it hurts to see a teammate being whistled.

“If we have to whistle, we have to whistle the whole team.”

Messi’s contract at PSG ends this summer and despite the club having the option to renew it for one-year, he reportedly wants to leave and club are understood to be happy for him to go.

He has been linked with a return to Barcelona, where he spent 21 years, winning ten LaLiga titles and four Champions Leagues.

However, Barca must reduce their wage bill and Messi may have to take a huge pay cut to re-join his former side.
