Lionel Messi agrees Two-Year Deal with PSG
Former FC Barcelona skipper, Lionel Messi, has finally reached an agreement with Paris Saint-Germain as a free agent.
Following the Argentine’s failure to reach an agreement on a new deal with the Catalan mega-club after a meeting last Thursday, there have been rumours linking the 34-year-old to PSG.
Messi, at Sunday press conference, confirmed a move to PSG as a “possibility”.
The contract with PSG will keep Messi at the Parisian club until June 2023, with the option of extending the contract until 2024, according to SkySports.
Messi will receive €25m net per season as guaranteed salary plus add-ons, with his potential total salary around €35m per season.
Lionel Messi will climb ahead of soon-to-be Paris Saint-Germain teammates Neymar and Kylian Mbappe as the French club’s highest-paid player, according to reports.
The six-time Ballon d’Or winner is heading to Paris to complete his medical.
