Messi agrees to move to Paris Saint-Germain
Several media reports said today, Tuesday, that Argentine Lionel Messi has agreed to join the French club Paris Saint-Germain.
And the British news agency "BA Media" reported that Messi, the best player in the world six times, became a free player after Barcelona announced that he was unable to meet the terms of his new contract due to financial difficulties.
Messi, 34, bid farewell to Barcelona in an emotional way at a press conference held last weekend.
Immediately, the name of Paris Saint-Germain was associated with the player, and reports stated that Messi had agreed to a two-year contract with the French team.
The French sports newspaper L'Equipe said on its website today, Tuesday, that Lionel Messi has reached an agreement with Paris Saint-Germain to move to the French club, and is scheduled to arrive in Paris in the coming hours.
The six-time Ballon d'Or winner cried last Sunday as he bid farewell to his childhood team, after the Catalan club announced they could no longer keep their captain and blamed La Liga financial fair play rules.
Paris Saint-Germain already has an amazing attack, with Kylian Mbappe and Neymar among the best players on the planet.
But the arrival of Messi, Barcelona's all-time leading scorer with 682 goals, will boost the club's ambitions to win the Champions League for the first time.
