22:39 LEO MESSI | PSGNot only Messi's shirts have sold out at PSG. All the tickets for the next game at the Parc des Princes have also been sold, despite the fact that it is very unlikely that the former Barça player will be present for the match against Strasbourg in the next matchday of Ligue 1.

22:34 LEO MESSI | PSGOne hour. That is how long Messi's new shirt has lasted in the PSG store. The Parisian club had to announce that they no longer had any more jerseys with the number '30' in stock. Something similar happened with Neymar, although in the case of the Brazilian it took a day to run out, instead of an hour.

22:29 LEO MESSI | ARRIVAL AT PSG"Everyone saw how Messi was at his last press conference and that's exactly how I felt.

22:09 MESSI | THE SIGNING OF PSG What could be the starting lineup for PSG this season? With the signing of Leo Messi, different possibilities now open up for Pochettino.

21:14 LEO MESSI | PSGWith the signing of Messi, PSG has had to do the math. Leo Messi has become the best paid in the squad, since he will earn 40 million euros per season. The second highest paid is his friend, Neymar, who earns 36.8 million euros.

21:09 MESSI | THE SIGNING OF PSGDuring the many seasons in which Messi and Ramos have been rivals at Barça and Madrid they have starred in spectacular duels and also in several high-profile brawls. Now, those who were the captains of Barça and Madrid last season will be teammates at PSG.

20:49 MESSI | HIS DEPARTURE FROM BARÇA Despite Messi's departure to PSG, Barça still has to drop some players (Umtiti or Pjanic are candidates) and renegotiate contracts in order to sign up the signings. Of the new only Yusuf Demir, because he will have a Barça B record, would be available now

20:44 MESSI | HIS DEPARTURE FROM BARÇAWhile Leo Messi is presented in style in Paris, problems continue to accumulate for FC Barcelona. Now, even with the departure of the Argentine star, the Catalan club finds itself in an extreme situation and without being able to register all the players on the squad.

20:39 LEO MESSI | PSG PSG had close to 39 million followers on Instagram just three days ago and after the signing of Leo Messi it has already gone up to 43 million. The French club will try to replicate this success on social networks in sporting and economic successes for the entity.

20:34 LEO MESSI | PSGThe signing of Leo Messi is already paying off for PSG. Despite the fact that he has not yet played any official match with the French club, Paris Saint-Germain has increased almost five million followers on Instagram in a single day after the signing of the Argentine star.

20:29 MESSI | HIS MARCH FROM BARCELONALaLiga forces the clubs to have numbers from 1 to 25 for the first team and from 26 to 50 for the homegrown players, so the option for Barça to withdraw the '10' as a tribute to Messi is practically impossible. In fact, the highest body in the first division has already prevented it from being done on other occasions.

20:22 MESSI | HIS LEAVE FROM BARCELONA Before the departure of Leo Messi from Barcelona there is a question that began to haunt the heads of the followers of the Catalan club: Is there the possibility of withdrawing the '10' as a tribute to the Argentine star? However, LaLiga once again has the last word on this matter.

20:19 MESSI | THE SIGNING OF PSG Another detail that has added interest to the signing of Leo Messi by Paris Saint-Germain is the fact that the former Barça captain will find himself in the same team with one of his historic opponents at Real Madrid: Sergio Ramos . The two will now have to share a dressing room and will fight together to win the Champions League.

19:39 MESSI | THE SIGNING BY PSG The lawsuit filed by Branco was made with two sides. On the one hand, a formal lawsuit for unfair competition. On the other, he made a request to the European Commission to intervene with the French authorities to avoid this unfair competition and not allow the signing of Messi by PSG.

14:17 LEO MESSI | HIS PRESENTATION WITH PSG Nasser Al-Kelaïfi has also spoken about Kylian Mbappé in the presentation of Leo Messi as a new PSG player. "Everybody knows the future of Kylian Mbappé, he's a PSG player and he's staying. He has a winning mentality and I think that now we can't make a more competitive team.

From his new stadium. See you in a while".

13:19 LEO MESSI | INTERVIEW WITH IBAI We remember that Ibai Llanos was already at the farewell dinner at Messi's house before his farewell press conference with Barcelona.

He is a phenomenon and a Spectacular boy. All the dressing room. They are the best in the world and hopefully I can help PSG achieve the desired goal".

11:40 MESSI: "When I spoke to Leonardo, the only thing I told him was that I hope my family adjusts well. I'm prepared, it's a new experience, but football is the same everywhere. I have friends in the locker room who will help me. I am very happy to start this new adventure and meet my teammates. It's all new for us, but I'm ready. We are in a spectacular city and we are going to enjoy it. We are calm and happy".

We have increased the value of our club and interest. We have the opportunity to work for everyone, for the team, the fans, the city...".

11:36 MESSI: "I've known him for a long time (Pochettino). There's a closeness and we talked. Everything was very good from the beginning. PSG's coaching staff and squad did a lot for me to choose this club ".

11:35AL-KHELAIFI: "We always follow 'fair play', we always consult everything with our lawyers. If we sign Messi it's because we have the ability to sign Messi, otherwise we wouldn't have done it. There are many positive things "That will give us to the club. In these three days we have grown tremendously. I hope Messi doesn't ask for more salary, but we have always respected the 'fair play' rules".

11:33AL-KHELAIFI: "It was a wish on both sides to make it possible. Everything happened very quickly. When we found out that Messi was not following, we started talks."

11:32 MESSI: "I grew up at a football level and had many experiences, that made me grow as an athlete and a person. I have the same enthusiasm as when I was a child. I love winning and I'm going to give everything to achieve my goals."

11:31 MESSI: "Before I left without knowing where I was going, I already said that Barcelona is my home. I experienced many things. They knew that I was going to a competitive team, that I was going to win the Champions League. I want to continue winning titles and "Paris has the same objectives as me. I don't know if we're going to face each other. On the one hand it will be nice, hopefully with people, but on the other hand it will be very strange to play at home with another shirt. It's something that can happen".

11:29 MESSI: "I followed him because I have friends at PSG. The French League has grown a lot in recent years and that makes it more competitive. The other teams want to beat Paris and I will have a new experience, in another stadium ".

11:28 MESSI: "Obviously I have friends and acquaintances in the dressing room. Looking at the squad, one gets excited about the goals that both PSG and I are looking for. Hopefully we are stronger now. Di María and Paredes I know them and I have had contact with them, it has been a factor in choosing this place".

11:26AL-KHELAIFI: "The Champions League is not easy and we will fight to get as far as possible. Now we are focused on the League and then on the Champions League, but of course that is our objective. We remain calm and prudent ".

11:24 MESSI: "There are times when you can have the best team in the world and not win. We know how difficult the Champions League is, PSG also knows it, it was very close. It is a competition in which the best are and we'll have to have a united and strong group, then we'll need a little bit of luck. The best doesn't always win. It's a special competition and that makes it so beautiful. Everyone loves it".

11:23AL-KHELAIFI: "Mbappé is a Parisian and a PSG player. He is very competitive and he has said that he wanted to have a competitive team, and I don't think there is a more competitive team than this one."

11:22 MESSI: "I am very grateful to the people, it was crazy. I was in Barcelona and the people were already in the streets. I want to thank them and we are going to enjoy a lot. I hope it will be a good year for them and at a sporting level also".

11:21AL-KHELAIFI: "Our goal is to win every game, every title, and now with Leo we are even closer. We want to work and win titles"

11:20 MESSI: "Everything that happened to me in the last week was hard on the one hand and exciting at the same time. Without leaving behind what I experienced, but excited about this new stage that I have to live in sports and with my family. I had to go through all these feelings and I had to assimilate them little by little".

11:19 MESSI: "I've been unemployed for more than a month and I don't know, surely I'll have to do a pre-season alone and when I'm ready I'll start playing. I really want to but I don't know the date, it will depend on how I feel and what Let the coaching staff decide."

11:17 MESSI: "Being able to share a team with these players is a great joy. I want to start competing with the best and that's always nice and beautiful."

10:32WANTING TO DEBUT | While waiting for his official presentation, Leo Messi wants to make his PSG debut this Saturday in the match against Strasbourg. [+INFO]

10:21MAXIMUM EXPECTATION | PSG fans are impatiently awaiting the arrival of Leo Messi for the presentation of the Argentine star.

10:19 POLICE ARMOR | The police have arranged a strong security device in the Parque de los Príncipes to avoid problems in the reception of PSG fans to Leo Messi.

PRESENTATION OF MESSI WITH PSG | The Parisian club has already started broadcasting Leo Messi's welcoming act to the Parisian club through social networks.

10:14 ALL READY FOR THE PRESENTATION | The Parque de los Príncipes is now ready for Leo Messi's coming-out as a PSG player.

MESSI ARRIVES AT PSG | The 'gaucho' added his happiness that Sergio Ramos is there: "I am also very happy with my teammate Sergio Ramos in the team and a super cast". Finally, he dared to venture that "I already see a champion team."

MESSI | Ronaldinho, who also played for PSG before landing at the Camp Nou, spoke with great joy about his friend Messi: "It's a great joy to have played for these two clubs and now to see my friend wearing this shirt, that there are many moments of joy Leo!!!".

MESSI SIGNS FOR PSG | The signing of Leo Messi by PSG generated millions of reactions and responses. Anonymous and acquaintances published messages on social networks, and among the famous faces was that of Ronaldinho.

09:55 MESSI | Accustomed to cases of great media significance, Juan Branco acknowledges that "I have received many death threats on social networks, especially on Twitter, because, obviously, Paris does not like this demand."

MESSI LEAVES BARÇA | Pending the ruling of both courts -the European Commission has a term of between 48 hours and a month-, Branco explains that "if I were Messi's lawyer, I would advise him to be cautious and look at other alternatives". underlines.

LEO MESSI | "We have requested that the homologation of Messi's contract be rejected before the Administrative Court of Paris, so that even if it is signed, the registration to Ligue 1 can be blocked," argues the lawyer for this group of Barça members.

MESSI ARRIVES AT PSG | In addition, Branco has also filed another lawsuit before the highest administrative court in France, the Council of State, which has agreed to the procedure and has assigned the President of the Chamber, Fabien Raynauld, as investigating judge.

MESSI | “In the case of PSG, the ratio was 99% for the 2020-21 season and for this next season it has a forecast of losses of 200 to 300 million, including sales of 180 million – which have not yet occurred. Therefore, the real losses would be between 400-500 million”, reasons the lawyer. "And all this in some accounts that he presented in June, without counting the additions of Ramos, Donarumma, Achraf... and now Messi," he adds.

MESSI LEAVES BARÇA | Branco assures that PSG's salary expenses accounted for 99% of their income before Messi's signing. Therefore, the arrival of the Argentine at the Parisian club would cause the total cost of the staff salaries to exceed the entity's income figure, thus violating the 'financial fair-play' rule.

MESSI LEAVES BARÇA | The grievance comes because in France, after an agreement adopted by the Ligue1 Assembly on December 14, 2019, it was agreed that the French clubs would not be sanctioned until 2023 for not complying with that 'fair play'.

LEO MESSI | Juan Branco's accusation about unfair competition from PSG is based on the fact that the French club does not comply with the financial 'fair play' restrictions to which, for example, Barça does have to respond against LaLiga, something that has made it impossible for him to register him despite having the agreement with Leo. In addition, it must be taken into account that it was the EC itself and UEFA who encouraged the leagues of each country to carry out this control.

MESSI ARRIVES AT PSG | Branco filed a claim with the European Commission, with two aspects. On the one hand, a formal lawsuit for unfair competition. On the other, he made a request to the same European Commission to intervene with the French authorities to avoid this unfair competition and not allow the signing of Messi by PSG.

MESSI | This lawyer now represents the interests of a group of Barça members who have sued PSG for the signing of Leo Messi, considering that the French club is committing a crime of unfair competition.

MESSI SIGNS FOR PSG | Branco is a very popular lawyer in France for defending various causes before people with a lot of power. For example, he intervened in the Wikileaks case for Julian Assage and against the president of France, Emmanuel Macron.

DEPARTURE OF MESSI | Shortly before the final agreement between Leo Messi and PSG was closed, Juan Branco, a lawyer who filed a lawsuit against PSG last Sunday for the signing of Messi, answered the MD call.

MESSI | We remember that the Argentine will be presented with PSG this morning at 11:00 am at the Parc des Princes.

LEO MESSI | And it is that after this next day, PSG will play two consecutive games at home, just before the national team break. On Friday the 20th against Stade Brestois and on Sunday the 29th at the home of Reims.

LEO MESSI | Beyond his desire to debut, in his decision to play this Saturday there must also be a sentimental component. And it is that if Messi did not make his debut this weekend at the Parc des Princes, the Argentine striker would have to debut with his new club away from his stadium.

LEO MESSI | The Argentine has not trained or played for an exact month. Specifically, since July 11, when Argentina won the Copa América.

LEO MESSI | According to the French press, Leo Messi has conveyed to Nasser Al-Khelaifi, the club's president, his wishes to play this Saturday, in the match that PSG has at home against Racing Strasbourg (9:00 p.m.).

LEO MESSI | That figure would be above the 35 million that the Argentine had agreed with Barça before his renewal with the Barça club was broken according to L'Equipe.

LEO MESSI | According to L'Equipe, Messi will receive 40 million for each year he wears the PSG shirt, thus becoming the highest paid footballer in the French squad.

LEO MESSI | However, the French newspaper L'Equipe dared to publish some figures, not confirmed by the parties, but which is the only thing that has transpired so far about what the Argentine can receive for each of the seasons he plays in Paris.

LEO MESSI | One of the unknowns is how much the Argentine star can earn at the Parisian club. Neither PSG nor the footballers reveal what they pay their players.

LEO MESSI | "This is extraordinary news for the exposure of Ligue 1 at an international level. The arrival of Lionel Messi will increase the attractiveness and visibility of our championship on all continents," said Vincent Labrune, president of the French league.

LEO MESSI | "Lionel Messi is a football legend, who writes the history of our sport together with Pelé and Maradona. It is a great opportunity for the French fans and for all football lovers to be able to see the best player in the world playing in our stadiums or in television," the statement said.

LEO MESSI | The statement from the French league ensures that "the arrival of Lionel Messi at Paris Saint-Germain is a world event. It is a historic day for French professional football and Ligue 1."

LEO MESSI |"This unique event is the result of the strategy of the leaders of PSG, which has allowed the Parisian club to become one of the biggest brands in world sport in ten years. On behalf of professional football, I thank Nasser Al-Khelaifi for having made this dream possible," said the president of Ligue 1.

LEO MESSI | Ligue 1 president Vincent Labrune has issued a statement praising Nasser Al-Khelaïfi shortly after PSG made Messi's signing official.

LEO MESSI | The Argentinian's arrival in Paris is undoubtedly the summer bomb in the world of football and PSG fans are not the only ones celebrating the landing of the former Barcelona player in the French capital.

LEO MESSI | "Together with our great coach and his staff, I hope to see our team make history for all our fans around the world," added Nasser Al-Kheaïfi, who finally managed to have Messi in his ranks after several failed attempts.

LEO MESSI | The PSG president assures that "the ambition of the Club is, of course, identical. The addition of Leo to our world-class squad follows the line of a very strategic and successful transfer window for the club.

LEO MESSI | Nasser Al-Khelaïfi, president of PSG, has welcomed Messi to the Parc des Princes. "I am delighted that Lionel Messi has chosen to join Paris Saint-Germain," the president celebrated, "and we are proud to welcome him and his family to Paris."

LEO MESSI | PSG fans who had been waiting for Messi's arrival since Sunday, both at Le Bourget airport and at the Parque de los Príncipes stadium, cheered him on at both facilities. The Argentine greeted them and once again at his hotel he appeared on the balcony to respond to the love of the fans.

LEO MESSI | The footballer traveled to Paris yesterday at noon, passed the pertinent medical examination at the American Hospital in the afternoon and went to the Parc des Princes to close the contract.

LEO MESSI | After the signing of Messi, PSG will have a dream forward with Neymar and Mbappé and the French team becomes the main candidate to win the next Champions League, the club's great objective since the arrival of the Qatari capital in 2011.

LEO MESSI | The Argentine faces his new stage at PSG with optimism: "The Club and its vision are in perfect harmony with my ambitions. I know how talented the players and staff are here. I am determined to build, together with them, something great for the Club and for the fans. I can't wait to go to the pitch at the Parc des Princes".

LEO MESSI | The Argentine assured after signing his contract that "I am impatient to start a new chapter of my career in Paris."

LEO MESSI | The player will wear the number 30 shirt for PSG. Therefore, the Argentine recovers the number of his official debut at Barça.

LEO MESSI | PSG planned to announce the incorporation of the Argentine hours before, but the Messi took a long time to finish reviewing the conditions of the contract.

LEO MESSI | The agreement between Messi and PSG became official after ten at night. The Parisian team was feeding the expectation through videos throughout the afternoon.

Good morning friends of Mundo Deportivo! Welcome to the minute-by-minute follow-up of Leo Messi's arrival at PSG. The French club announced the signing of the striker last night. Leo Messi will be presented this morning at 11:00 with his new team after signing the contract with the Parisian team last afternoon and passing the medical examination.
