At 12 noon press conference at the Camp Nou. All the clues lead to the PSG
ROME. His career at Barcelona ends where it started. Lionel Messi will bid farewell to the blaugrana today at a press conference called for 12 at Camp Nou. The stadium where in 17 years in the first team he has beaten many records, from the number of appearances to that of goals scored with the same shirt (672, even exceeding the 643 scored by Pelé with Santos). After the break with President Laporta over salary cap issues, all the clues lead the flea towards Paris Saint-Germain. «The negotiations are officially concluded. And the announcement later », the brother of Emir Al Thani, owner of the French club, wrote on Twitter.
The signing should therefore only be a matter of time, even if the indiscretion of the footballer’s father and agent, Jorge Messi, given in Paris already today to define the details of the contract, seems to be unconfirmed. The entourage of the six-time Golden Ball has made it known that the Argentine striker has not yet decided his future and no formal offers have arrived. The PSG would have prepared for Messi a two-year contract worth 40 million euros per year, with the option for a third year. A salary that, although higher than that of his former partner in Blaugrana Neymar (35 million), is lower than what the club would have been willing to offer in the past. But that thanks to the proposal of at least two years of engagement would satisfy one of Messi’s requests. «It would be great for the French championship. He is the best in the world, ”said Monaco coach Niko Kovac.
