4. Lionel Messi leaves PSG
Shocking news came from superstar Lionel Messi. The player nicknamed La Pulga chose to leave Paris Saint-Germain (PSG).
Messi’s performance this season is actually fairly good. The Argentina national team captain managed to score 16 goals and 16 assists in 32 matches throughout the French League. It’s just that he is still considered a failure by Le Parisiens supporters because he was unable to take PSG to go far in the Champions League.
The future of La Pulga is still a mystery. Many rumours say that Messi will join the Saudi Arabian club, Al Hilal. But there are also those who say that Messi will return to Barcelona.
3. Eden Hazard Released Real Madrid
Real Madrid also gave shocking news by releasing one of its most expensive players, Eden Hazard. Hazard was brought in by Los Blancos in 2019 to become the successor to Cristiano Ronaldo who left for Juventus.
Unfortunately, Hazard struggled more with injuries and never returned to his best appearance. In total, this Belgian player only played in 76 matches. As a result, Real Madrid decided to end his partnership with Hazard, even though his contract only ends at the end of 2023.
2. Karim Benzema Joins Al Ittihad
Another shocking news came from Real Madrid who released their flagship bomber, Karim Benzema. Benzema was recruited by Los Blancos in 2009 and has been the foundation of Real Madrid’s attack line for the last 14 years. In total, the French bomber played in 648 matches and scored 354 goals and 165 assists for Real Madrid.
Not only that, Benzema also presented various trophies to the Santiago Bernabeu public including a Champions League hat trick. Unfortunately, at the end of the 2022-2023 season, Benzema received a proposal from the Saudi Arabian giant, Al Ittihad. Real Madrid is currently starting to be linked with various top European striker names to replace Benzema’s role at the Bernabeu.
