Jorge Messi, the father and agent of Lionel Messi, is fed up with all the rumors about his son’s future. Via a Story on Instagram, in which he shows various rumors that have been released in the past period, he lashes out at the media. “When will you stop lying?”

In recent times, several rumors have been floated about the future of the 35-year-old Paris Saint-Germain superstar. For example, Messi would have left training early on Tuesday due to problems with coach Christophe Galtier, PSG would not agree with Messi’s conditions for extending his contract and Messi would expect a salary of 600 million euros in the event of a switch to Al Hilal.

Messi senior shows Friday evening to be furious because of those rumors. “Beware: fake news!”, he writes on his Instagram, among other things. Below that is a number of screenshots of rumors about Messi, followed by the text written by Jorge Messi: “When will you stop lying? Where’s the proof? Ohhhh, everything is wrong. No matter how loud it is called, don’t believe it. We will not tolerate fake news anymore.”

Messi is still in Paris until next summer and it is not yet known whether he will extend his contract. Last week, the world champion was eliminated with PSG in the eighth final of the Champions League by Bayern Munich. In Ligue 1, in which Messi has scored thirteen times so far this season, the Parisians are doing a lot better: they are ten points ahead of number two Olympique Marseille.
