“Yes,” was Jorge Messi’s simple response when asked if his son would be joining PSG, as fans wait for the Argentine star’s move to be officially announced after undergoing medical.

How much will Messi earn at PSG?

It is expected that Messi will receive in the region of €30 million-35 million (£25m-30m/$35m-$41m) per season during his time at PSG, while there will also be team and individual bonuses.

Did Messi have any other club offers?

Yes! Messi did receive offers from other clubs including Abu Dhabi-owned Manchester City, but PSG was always the option that he liked the most.
