The Argentine spent two years in France between 2021 and 2023, making 75 appearances for the club across all competitions.
While he helped the club win two consecutive league titles during his stay in Paris, fans battled to connect with the eight-time Ballon d'Or winner, who left PSG for free last year to join Inter Miami.
The club's president, Nasser Al-Khelaifi, believes a large part of Messi's struggles in Ligue 1 had to do with him not having the same environment he had in Spain.
"I'm going to say one thing about Messi, the best player in the world and the best player in history, it was not easy for him to come here after Barcelona," he told RMC Sport.
"There (in Barcelona), everything was for Messi: the players, the coaches, and the management.
"He comes here and it's not the same thing, we also have other players, we have Kylian and also Neymar."
