French side Paris St-Germain have unveiled their new signing Argentine star, Lionel Messi.

Messi on Tuesday arrived in Paris for medicals after concluding a transfer agreement on a two-year deal with PSG.

After his successful medicals on Tuesday night, PSG unveiled Messi, announcing Messi’s joining the club on their Twitter account.

Welcoming Messi to the club, PSG chairman Nasser Al-Khelaïfi said, “I am delighted that Lionel Messi has chosen to join Paris Saint-Germain, and we are proud to welcome him and his family to Paris.”

Barcelona had on Sunday announced the exit of Messi and held a farewell press conference in honour of the player, who joined the Catalan club at the age of 13.

The six-time Ballon d’Or winner remains Barca’s highest goalscorer, netting 682 goals in 742 appearances in 21 years of his stay with the Spanish side.

Messi has now been reunited with his former Barca teammate Neymar. An excited Neymar took to Twitter Tuesday to welcome one of the greatest players of all time. He will also team up with young France striker, Kylian Mbappe, adding more firepower to the French side’s attack.
