Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) has suspended Lionel Messi for two weeks over an unauthorized trip individual promotional trip to Saudi Arabia without the club’s permission.
Reports indicate that Messi engaged the club asking for permission to travel to Saudi but the club turned his request down.
He, however, flew to Saudi on Sunday night following a double cancellation of  his scheduled business trip to the Gulf nation after PSG defeat.
The Argentine star player, Messi, however, did not get the necessary authorization from PSG. As a result of his decision to travel to Saudi against his club’s will, Parc des Princes suspended him from playing in two games and a further fine from his two-week pay.
This followed a day off talks between the club’s officials on Tuesday.
On Monday, the 35-year-old was photographed in Riyadh and announced his visit on social media. Messi already represents Saudi Arabia’s tourism industry.
