Messi, Messi, Messi! Watch how excited PSG fans wait for Messi at the airport

After several years in Catalonia, Barcelona icon Lionel Messi is heading to a neighbouring country to play for PSG in France. And the Parisian fans can’t wait to see it.

When the news broke last week that Messi would be leaving Barcelona, it was almost immediately clear that he would be heading to PSG. A salary of 35 million euros per season is simply not affordable by everyone.

During Tuesday morning, reports emerged that Messi had agreed to a contract offer at PSG and would fly to Paris the same day.

And that’s what fans of the Parisian giant are waiting for. They have been waiting tirelessly at the airport since Monday, looking for their new superstar. On Tuesday, when Messi was already spotted at Barcelona airport, the crowds of fans multiplied even more. And together they chanted: Messi, Messi, Messi!

Neymar, who has long been luring Messi to Paris, confirmed his former teammate’s arrival. “Together again.”

Messi will earn a salary of 35 million euros per season at PSG. He has signed a contract until June 2023 with an option for another year.

PSG wants to finally attack the Champions League trophy that continues to elude the Parisians. This summer, the Sheikhs really showed off and brought in Sergio Ramos, Lionel Messi, Gianlugi Donnarumma, Achraf Hakimi and Georginio Wijnaldum. In doing so, they only paid 60 million for Hakimi, the other players came for free at the end of their contracts.
