Lionel Messi did not hit the heights expected of him during his first season at Paris Saint-Germain.
The Argentine was expected to run riot in Ligue 1 after making the move from Barcelona to PSG.
But, he had a disappointing campaign by his standards, scoring ‘just’ 11 times and recording 15 assists in 34 matches.
His struggles mean, per Transfermarkt, his value has dipped by £27m over the course of the 2021/22 season.

Messi is now worth £45m but, while his market value has dropped considerably, that figure is still incredibly high for someone who will turn 35 in June.
