PSG puts 10 players on sale to fund Mess's transfer

After it was announced that he would leave Barcelona, French giants have moved swiftly and now appear to conclude a sensational agreement for six times the winner of Golden Ball in the coming days.

Messi, who will wear the 19th number in Paris, is expected to sign a two-year contract with the option for another year.

According to The Athletic, he will receive a 25m-euro bonus and earn the same amount each year during his stay in Paris.

The PSG has the financial capacity to conclude the deal and expects to gain large sums from commercial agreements and fan sales after the signing, however, they still have to cut their salary bill.

As a result, a number of players playing on the first squad are reportedly put on sale.

PSG is very open to offers in players such as Abdou Diallo, Thilo Kehrer, Idrisa Gueyeye, Keylor Navas and Rafinha, while they can even let names like, Mairo Icard and Ander Herrera leave despite the two being eager to stay.

Even though there is a uncertainty about the future of Kyian Mbarppes after his contract expires next year, SPG hopes that Mess's arrival will convince him to stay in Prince Park.

Mess's arrival closes a very successful transitional term to the PSG, as they have already transferred even some players without paying a cent.

Like Messi, the club got Sergio Ramos, Gini Winnaldum and Gianluji Donnarumman.
