AMOUNT OF MONEY MESSI WILL LOSE AS A RESULT OF HIS SUSPENSION FROM PSG HAS BEEN DISCLOSED

Lionel Messi, the forward for Paris Saint-Germain, is reportedly going to lose €1.7 million in earnings due to his suspension at the club.

Due to the ban, Messi will miss PSG's next two matches against Troyes and Ajaccio this month.

PSG were upset that the seven-time Ballon d'Or winner traveled to Saudi Arabia without permission on Monday.

The French Ligue 1 champions have chosen to suspend the Argentine World Cup winner for two weeks without pay and have also asked him not to workout.

According to Forbes, Messi will lose roughly €1.7 million during his sentence.

The former Barcelona captain was in the Middle East for a job with Saudi Arabian Tourism, and he was in Riyadh.
