Multiple reports are coming in from France, Spain and South America that Lionel Messi has practically agreed personal terms and will sign for PSG.

He is a free agent after Barcelona confessed they could not register a new contract, even with a 50 per cent pay cut, because of their dire financial situation and new La Liga salary caps.

Although Diario AS reported that Chelsea asked for an emergency meeting with Messi’s entourage, PSG were always the favourites.

Now it seems as if negotiations could be finalised within 24 hours, as sources ranging from French transfer expert Saber Desfarges to TNT Sports in Argentina and many more all have the same version of events.

They all state that a deal is almost done and there are now few doubts remaining that Messi will wear the Paris Saint-Germain jersey this season.

The Argentina international legend is fresh from winning the Copa America and will join up with his former Barcelona teammate Neymar, as well as Italy stars Marco Verratti and Gianluigi Donnarumma.

It’s believed the salary is worth upwards of €30m per season, plus bonuses.

L’Equipe maintain the offer is a two-year contract at €40m per season, with an option to extend for another year.
