FANS are convinced Lionel Messi will leave Paris Saint-Germain after his post-match antics in the loss to Rennes.
The Ligue 1 champions suffered a 2-0 loss at home, taking their run to four defeats in their last eight games.
PSG supporters vented their anger during the second-half by booing their players.
At the end of the game, the team led by Kylian Mbappe still clapped the fans to thank them for their support.
But a clearly disappointed Messi did not join his team-mates as he trudged down the tunnel while looking fed up.
The World Cup winner's contract in Paris expires at the end of the season although there is an option to extend it by a further year.
