After a long night in Barcelona, Lionel Messi’s plane finally touched down in the city of Paris for his medical as a new PSG player.
This is really happening, Leo Messi’s plane touched down in the city of Paris and he is just moments away from signing his contract with PSG. Last night was a contentious one that only proved Joan Laporta wanted to save face with the supporters. After using the Argentine to win the election by assuring everybody he would stay in Barcelona. He didn’t even tell the whole truth about the real situation until it was too late. By the time Messi came with his father to sign a total agreement, they found a very different reality.
In hindsight, the Messi family felt betrayed and Laporta started getting attacked from all over the place. That’s why last night, after midnight. Joan and his board decided to attempt a ‘hail mary’ with a final offer for Messi, but it was too late. The star had already signed his contract with PSG and was scheduled to fly to Paris today. We just gave you an update on Messi getting on a plane at Barcelona’s airport with his wife and three kids.
