Messi accepts the offer of the PSG

Lionel Messi, 34, has agreed to his signing for PSG this Tuesday morning. The Argentine, who did not renew his contract with Barcelona as he had agreed to since July 12, will undergo the medical examination at the American Hospital in Paris, the city to which he flies this Tuesday, and will be presented this Wednesday in the Park of the Princes. The Rosario will sign a bond for two seasons, plus an optional one. After 20 years at Barcelona, ​​La Pulga will start a new stage in the French capital, where he is committed to winning his fifth Champions League. "Yes, my son signs today for PSG", confirmed Jorge, father and representative of the player, before embarking to Paris. "Who is to blame for your departure?" They asked. "Find out at the club," finished Messi senior.

Last Thursday, Barcelona announced that Messi would not continue to be linked to the Barça entity. "It cannot be formalized due to economic and structural obstacles (Spanish LaLiga regulations)," the Catalan club reported. That same afternoon, PSG contacted the player's father and representative, Jorge. The next day, the coach of the French team, Mauricio Pochettino, phoned the footballer. On Sunday, while Messi explained the reasons for his goodbye at the Camp Nou, his agent was already negotiating with the Parisian club.

The first issue to be resolved, before the years of contract and the player's salary, was how to balance the image rights of Rosario.

Messi generates about 35 million euros per year of advertising, second in the list of footballers who enter the most behind Cristiano Ronaldo (50 million).

Once the first obstacle had been solved, on Monday they advanced in the salary numbers and in the years of duration.

The idea of ​​PSG was to present the player this Tuesday.

However, in the absence of finalizing details of the operation, the agreement was delayed one day.

Messi, after 17 years in LaLiga and 35 titles, 778 games, 672 goals, 6 Ballons d'Or and 6 Golden Boots, changed Barcelona for Paris.
