Lionel Messi arrives in Paris complete PSG move after leaving Barcelona

Lionel Messi flew on a private jet to Paris on Tuesday to finalise his move to Paris Saint-Germain.

The Argentina international travelled to the French capital following Sunday's emotional farewell to Barcelona at a news conference. Sources told ESPN that Messi has agreed to sign a two-year contract at PSG, with the option to extend for a third year.

Messi is due to complete a medical Tuesday and a news conference was originally planned later in the day, but sources told ESPN it has been moved to Wednesday as PSG need more time to cope with logistics amid worldwide media interest in the transfer.
