Mania! PSG jerseys with Messi’s name sold out in 30 minutes. What did the Argentine say after the transfer?

Lionel Messi is officially a PSG player as of Tuesday night. Fans have been waiting for his arrival for several hours. A huge mania has broken out in Paris and fans can’t wait to see the new star. This was also reflected in the sale of jerseys.

Barcelona, through their lawyers, tried to prevent Lionel Messi from moving to Paris, but failed, and now they have a new idol in the French capital.

“I am looking forward to starting a new chapter of my career in Paris. I am determined to build something great here. I can’t wait to make my debut at the Parc des Princes,” Messi was quoted as saying immediately after the transfer.

The Argentine star signed a two-year contract with PSG with an automatic option to extend for another year. According to the information available, he will receive 35 million euros a year.

A huge “Messimania” broke out in Paris. Almost immediately after it was announced that Messi was leaving Barcelona, fans began to gather not only in front of the PSG shrine.

Messi received a spectacular welcome, which must have also made the club’s treasurer happy. The jerseys with his name on them are selling out.

Messi’s transfer was officially announced at 23:15 CET. Along with this, the sale of his number 30 jersey began immediately. And at 23:45 minutes, it was sold out. Both home and away jerseys were no longer available for purchase.

To sell out of jerseys in half an hour is something special. It seems that the Argentine will have a very privileged position in Paris, not only with the club but also with the fans.
