Paris Saint-Germain have completed the signing of Lionel Messi from Barcelona on a free transfer.
The French outfit have confirmed the transfer on their social media channel, and Messi is set to sign a two-year contract with them.
Barcelona did their best to extend the Argentine superstar’s contract, but the Spanish league’s salary cap meant that the player had to move on.
Messi has flown to Paris from Barcelona today, and the player is likely to be presented to the PSG fans soon.
The 34-year-old has already been spotted in an airport after arriving in France, and he was seen waving to the PSG fans as he prepares to start a new adventure with the French outfit.
The Argentine international is undoubtedly the greatest player of his generation, and this is a historic moment in the history of the French club.
Messi will be reunited with his former Barcelona teammate Neymar at PSG, and they could form a fearsome attacking trio with Kylian Mbappe.
Neymar already seems excited about Messi’s arrival, and he has already shared a post on Instagram claiming that they are set to be reunited once again.
PSG will undoubtedly be one of the favourites to win the Champions League in the upcoming season. It will be interesting to see if Messi can adapt to French football quickly and elevate the side to a whole different level.
