GOOD MORNING FOOTBALL FANS
Lionel Messi has been OFFICIALLY announced as a PSG player.
The 34-year-old leaves Barcelona after 17 years at the club and arrived in Paris yesterday on a private jet tracked by over 100,000 people on website Flightradar24.
PSG’s official Twitter account revealed the news last night with Messi saying: “I can’t wait to set foot on the pitch at the Parc des Princes.”
He’s put pen to paper on a two-year deal with the option for a third, and is set to speak at a press conference at the Parc des Princes which is scheduled for 10am.
And the six time Ballon d’Or winner will wear the number 30 shirt in Paris, the same shirt number he wore when he made his professional debut.
Messi is said to have turned down an offer from Neymar for the new signing to take over his number 10 shirt.
Romelu Lukaku could be announced as a Chelsea player today.
The Inter Milan forward flew to Monaco on Monday to continue finalising the deal at the headquarters of his agent, Federico Pastorello.
He’s set to join in a £97.5million deal, making him the second most expensive Premier League player of all time, behind the £100million Manchester City paid Aston Villa for Jack Grealish last week.
And he may already been registered as a Chelsea player, meaning the 28-year-old is eligible to play in tonight’s Uefa Super Cup clash against Villarreal.
