The 2021 Copa America winner will now reunite with Neymar who also joined PSG in a world record fee worth over €200 million in 2017.

Although Messi was said to have made efforts to remain at the Catalan club beyond this summer, the La Liga financial rules stopped the deal from going through.

Both players inspired Barca to their last Champions League glory in 2015 and their alliance could see them guide the Parisians to their first European glory.

Why Neymar offered Lionel Messi his number 10 jersey?

Legit.ng earlier reported that Neymar was said to have offered Lionel Messi his number 10 shirt in his attempt to convince the Argentine to move to France.

This comes after Spanish giants Barcelona confirmed that Lionel Messi will be leaving this summer after their failure to register the Argentine for the coming season.

For the past 21 years, Lionel Messi has been at the Nou Camp and the Argentine has won all the titles available in the club and European football and he is also Barcelona's leading scorer in history.
