Lionel Messi makes it exciting.

"All of Paris is shaking," wrote the broadcaster RMC Sport.

The French, Spanish and Argentine media are convinced that the test of patience is less due to a possible failure of the negotiations between Messi's lawyers, his father Jorge and the bosses of Paris Saint Germain.

No, it's more anticipation than trembling.

Hundreds of football fans experienced something like this on Sunday and Monday in front of Le Bourget Airport, where Messi's arrival with a PSG plane was awaited in vain, and in front of the Parc des Princes, which is likely to be the new big stage for the six-time world footballer.

It should be like that again this Tuesday.

Substitute goalkeeper number?

However, “Waiting for Messi” should not turn into the absurd theater of the world-famous “Waiting for Godot”.

Spain's “Marca” wanted to know which number Messi was being offered by PSG after he himself reportedly turned down the 10 - his number in the Argentine national team and at FC Barcelona - from buddy Neymar.

According to the Sportblatt, it should be 30.

She still has - at least that's what the PSG website says - Alexandre Letellier, one of the substitute keepers behind the newcomer and European champion Gianluigi Donnarumma, who got the number 50.

Messi, it is also reported, only wants to arrive when everything is settled.

On Monday he was still at home with the family in Castelldefels.

It should only be about details.

His salary is said to be well below that at FC Barcelona, ​​which supposedly does not mean that he should not become the top earner at PSG.

Even a waiver of half the salary at his heart club could not prevent the end.

The debts of almost 490 million euros weighed too heavily, also with a view to the financial fair play of the Spanish league.

PSG would move up to a different league with Messi in terms of perception despite its multitude of superstars from Donnarumma to Sergio Ramos, Marco Verratti to Neymar and Kylian Mbappé. According to a report by L'Équipe, PSG has seen an enormous increase in followers on social networks in the past few days alone since the end of the Messi era in Barcelona was announced. The newspaper "Le Monde" quoted an expert: "Lionel Messi is a global brand par excellence."
