- Deal worth about €35m a year net and has option to extend
- Messi in talks with PSG since plan to stay at Barcelona collapsed
Lionel Messi has agreed a two-year contract with Paris Saint-Germain and boarded a plane to France on Tuesday afternoon to complete the transfer. The deal includes an option to extend by a year and gives the forward a net salary of about €35m (£29.6m) with bonuses factored in.
Messi, his lawyers and his father, Jorge, have been in talks with PSG since Thursday, when the 34-year-old’s plan to stay at Barcelona collapsed because of the club’s financial situation. Messi had agreed a five-year contract with Barcelona worth about €20m a season.
