May predicted that the 35-year-old forward from Argentina would leave when his deal expired this summer.
Messi, who moved to Paris Saint-Germain on a free transfer from Barcelona in July 2021, helped PSG win back-to-back Ligue 1 championships.
Galtier added, "I had the honor of coaching the greatest football player in history.
It will be his final game at Parc des Princes, so I hope he will be welcomed with open arms.
Following complaints from supporters, PSG upped security at the residences of Messi, Neymar, Marco Verratti, and Galtier last month.
Following a loss to Lorient, Messi was given a two-week suspension for flying to Saudi Arabia without PSG's consent. Later, he expressed regret to his teammates.
At the 2022 World Cup, Messi led Argentina to victory, and after the competition, it looked like he would remain at PSG.
Before altering their minds, the two parties came to an understanding to extend his stay by a year.
Messi has 32 goals in 74 games for the club altogether, including 21 goals and 20 assists for PSG this season in all competitions.
In each of the previous two seasons, PSG has been eliminated from the Champions League in the last-16 round.
Messi will soon decide on his future, according to Spanish football journalist Guillem Balague, but he won't go back to Barcelona, the team he played for 21 years.
