Just In: Lionel Messi Finally Seals Move To PSG On A 2 Year Deal
The six-time Ballon d’Or winner, Lionel Messi has agreed to join Paris Saint-Germain on a two-year contract for a deal worth £25m per year after tax, plus bonuses.
PSG and Messi will have the option of extending his stay in the French capital by a third year, while the forward will also receive a £25m signing-on fee.
Messi was set to extend his 21-year stay at Barcelona by signing a new five-year deal this summer.
However, the club announced on Thursday that “financial and structural obstacles” meant the deal could not be completed, meaning Messi left as a free agent.
