A statement from PSG: “Paris St Germain is delighted to announce the signing of Leo Messi on a two-year contract with an option of a third year.

“The six-time Ballon d’Or winner is justifiably considered a legend of the game and a true inspiration for those of all ages inside and outside football.

The signing of Leo reinforces Paris St Germain’s aspirations as well as providing the club’s loyal fans with not only an exceptionally talented squad, but also moments of incredible football in the coming years.

Chairman and CEO Nasser Al-Khelaifi said: I am delighted that Lionel Messi has chosen to join Paris St Germain and we are proud to welcome him and his family to Paris.

“He has made no secret of his desire to continue competing at the very highest level and winning trophies and naturally our ambition as a club is to do the same.

“The addition of Leo to our world class squad continues a very strategic and successful transfer window for the club. Led by our outstanding coach and his staff, I look forward to the team making history together for our fans all around the world.”

PSG head coach Mauricio Pochettino has a task to deliver the Champions League success after bringing the high-profile names to join the club on a free transfer this summer. Former Tottenham boss has no excuses or cannot argue he does not have the tools to get PSG trophies next season.

PSG new faces next season includes Euro 2020-winner Gianluigi Donnarumma, former Real Madrid captain Sergio Ramos and former Liverpool midfielder Georginio Wijnaldum.
