Lionel Messi is expected to arrive in Paris on Monday, lured by the limitless funds of PSG, having said a tearful farewell to Barcelona after 21 years.<\/p>\n

The 34-year-old, seen by the French giants\u2019<\/a> Qatari owners as the vital missing piece of their frustrating Champions League puzzle, has already had fans playing a guessing game.<\/p>\n

On Sunday night, dozens of PSG diehards gathered at the gates of Le Bourget airport to the north of the capital in the hope of catching a glimpse of their newest \u2018galactico\u2019.<\/p>\n

However, their wait was in vain.<\/p>\n

Stressing no deals had been done, Messi did concede at his tearful farewell news conference in Barcelona earlier Sunday that joining PSG was a \u201cpossibility\u201d.<\/p>\n

In reality, they are the only club who can afford what is expected to be a deal worth 35 million euros a year for the 34-year-old Argentine.<\/p>\n

\u201cI gave everything for Barcelona from the first day that I arrived right to the last. I never imagined having to say goodbye,\u201d Messi told the news conference.<\/p>\n

\u201cI have still not come to terms with the reality of leaving this club now \u2014 I love this club,\u201d added a suited Messi, who several times wiped away tears before a squadron of reporters at the club\u2019s Camp Nou ground who gave him a standing ovation.<\/p>\n

Messi, widely considered the most gifted player in the history of the game, won 35 trophies at Barcelona who he joined as a 13-year-old \u2014 including four Champions Leagues and 10 league titles while his 672 goals are a record for any of the top five European leagues.<\/p>\n

\u2013 \u2018Great for Ligue 1\u2019 -Despite offering to cut his salary by half to seal a new five-year deal which a club carrying debts of 1.2 billion euros ($1.5 billion) and player had agreed on, the agreement foundered on strict Spanish League salary restrictions.<\/p>\n

Some in France\u2019s Ligue 1 have mixed feelings about the impending arrival of Messi who will form a superstar attacking force alongside Kylian Mbappe and Neymar who earns a reported 36 million euros a year and is a former Barcelona teammate of the Argentine.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s extraordinary for Ligue 1,\u201d said Metz coach Frederic Antonetti.<\/p>\n

\u201cBut for a purist like me, Messi should have finished his career at Barcelona.\u201d<\/p>\n

This summer PSG<\/a> have already added veteran Spanish defender Sergio Ramos from Real Madrid, where he won four Champions League crowns, as Italy goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma.<\/p>\n

Messi is a free agent. Ramos also arrived on a free transfer.<\/p>\n

A move to the Parc des Princes would mean a reunion with his Argentina international colleague Angel di Maria.<\/p>\n

An added attraction is that coach Mauricio Pochettino, like Messi, started his career at Newell\u2019s Old Boys in Rosario, Argentina.<\/p>\n

Pochettino has been giving nothing away on the arrival of Messi.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere have been lots of rumours. Lots of things are being said,\u201d he said as PSG laboured to a 2-1 win over Troyes in their opening game of the new league season.<\/p>\n

Jorge Sampaoli, the coach of PSG\u2019s bitter rivals Marseille, said the arrival of Messi can only be good news for French football.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt would be great for Ligue 1, he\u2019s the best player in the world,\u201d said Sampaoli.<\/p>\n

\u201cFrench football has won a lot and grown a lot in recent seasons.<\/p>\n

\u201cEven if he goes to a club other than Marseille, it will be good. Everyone would be riveted on the championship. It will be an additional motivation for us to play against him.\u201d<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, in an indication that Barcelona are keen to move swiftly on, they defeated Juventus 3-0 on Sunday night in a pre-season friendly.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
