Earlier, the Barcelona football club announced it would not sign a new contract with Lionel Messi, citing financial and structural obstacles.
Jorge Messi, Lionel Messi’s father, confirmed that Lionel is heading to Paris and is signing for French club Paris Saint-Germain (PSG).
Messi’s plane is expected to arrive in Paris this afternoon, according to L'Equipe. He should pass the medical examination at the end of the day and then sign his two-year contract (plus one year as an option) in the wake. A press conference is expected to take place at the Parc des Princes on Wednesday.
PSG will get the striker without having to pay Barca for his contract, as he's currently a free agent.
Messi started his career at Barcelona in 2004 and had played at his boyhood club until he bid his final farewell on 30 June.
Lionel Messi played 778 games for Barcelona, scoring 672 goals and making 305 assists. The forward has won 35 trophies in total with the Catalan club.
