Lionel Messi has arrived in France today, moving a step closer to the world’s most stunning free transfer to Paris Saint-Germain following his departure from Barcelona.
The Argentina forward, 34, has agreed a deal in principle to join PSG as a free agent but his contract has not been formally signed. When the terms of his contract, which runs for two seasons, are completed he will undergo a medical.
Messi’s departure from Barca has moved swiftly from Thursday when the club announced they had agreed a new contract but it did not pass Spanish football authorities’ financial regulations.
Mauricio Pochettino, his fellow Argentine, would be in charge of one of the most potent attacking line-ups in history should he pair Messi with Kylian Mbappe and Neymar, who played with Messi at Barca.
His wages will top £400,000-a-week while playing for PSG and as a free agent he can command a huge signing on fee as his new club will not pay for his transfer.
