Former FC Barcelona skipper, Lionel Messi, has finally reached an agreement with Paris Saint-Germain as a free agent.
Following the Argentine’s failure to reach an agreement on a new deal with the Catalan mega-club after a meeting last Thursday, there have been rumours linking the 34-year-old to PSG.
Messi, at the Sunday press conference, confirmed a move to PSG as a “possibility”.
The contract with PSG will keep Messi at the Parisian club until June 2023, with the option of extending the contract until 2024, according to SkySports.
Messi will receive €25m net per season as a guaranteed salary plus add-ons, with his potential total salary around €35m per season.
Paris Saint-Germain is set to unveil Messi as a PSG player in a few hours, per Fabrizio Romano.
Since the announcement of Messi’s departure from the Catalan club, there has been a frenzy in the French capital.
Hundreds of fans swarmed the gates of the Le Bourget airport on Sunday night after reports that Lionel Messi was due to land in the French capital.
As of now, PSG has not officially announced the signing.
