βI am very excited, very happy and with the desire intact.β Those were the first words of Leo Messi in the first press conference that the Argentine gave as a Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) player after his departure from Barcelona.
As confirmed by the French club, financed by Qatari capital, Messi, 34, signed a contract for two seasons, with the option of one more.
In his first year in the professional squad, which is directed by Mauricio Pochettino, also from Argentina, Messi will have the shirt with the number 30, as in his first games as a professional in Barcelona.
Messi traveled on Tuesday afternoon with his whole family and was received by thousands of fans in Paris, demonstrating the great expectation that exists to see him play with his former teammate, the Brazilian Neymar Jr and with the French and PSG star, MbappΓ© .
