In a deal that attracted the attention of the world for days, Paris Saint-Germain finally announced, on Tuesday, the completion of the contract with Argentine star Lionel Messi on a two-year contract, with the possibility of renewing it for an additional year.
The club said in a tweet on Twitter: "A new diamond in Paris .. Paris Saint-Germain X Messi."
The tweet was accompanied by a video clip that showed Messi averaging the Parc des Princes stadium, wearing the club's dark blue shirt.
Messi will wear the number 30 shirt, according to the video clip, which is the number he wore at the beginning of his career with his former club Barcelona from 2004 to 2006, before wearing the numbers 19 and 10.
The Argentine star arrived at Le Bourget Airport in Paris, accompanied by his wife and three children, earlier on Tuesday, where he was received by a large crowd, and then underwent a medical examination before he officially signed the Saint-Germain contract and the curtain fell on his legendary story in Barcelona, which he entered as a young man before 21 years old.
And the official website of the French capital club quoted on its official website, Messi: "I am excited to start a new chapter of my career in the ranks of Paris Saint-Germain," according to "AFP".
Messi left Barcelona after the Catalan club shocked the football world by announcing, on Thursday, that, contrary to what was agreed upon between the two parties, not to sign a new contract with the 34-year-old due to the new salary cap rules imposed by the Spanish League, and because the club does not want to risk its budget, according to what Its boss, Juan Laporta, reported.
And French media reports said, on Tuesday, that Messi would sign a two-year contract with the option of extending for a third season with Saint-Germain.
Reports indicated that the net salary of the Barcelona captain will reach about 35 million euros annually, with "variables", according to "CNN".
