Messi joins PSG on free transfer following emotional Barcelona departure






 The six-time Ballon d'Or winner has opted to continue his career at Parc des Princes after an illustrious 21-year spell at Camp Nou

Lionel Messi has officially joined Paris Saint-Germain on a free transfer following his departure from Barcelona.



Messi has committed to a two-season deal at Parc des Princes with the option of an extra year, and will reportedly earn €35 million (£30m/$41m) per annum in wages with the French giants.


Barca sent shockwaves across the football world when announcing that they couldn't afford to re-register the 34-year-old winner last week, and PSG have moved quickly to secure the services of the six-time Ballon d'Or winner.




"I am delighted that Lionel Messi has chosen to join Paris Saint-Germain and we are proud to welcome him to Paris, with his family," said Nasser Al-Khelaifi, the club president.



"He did not hide his desire to continue to evolve at the highest level and to win trophies. The ambition of the club is of course identical. The addition of Leo to our world-class team confirms the relevance and success of our recruitment. Together with our great coach and his staff, I look forward to seeing our team make history for all of our supporters around the world. "



Why did Messi leave Barca?

Messi's next move has been a topic of hot discussion ever since he handed in a transfer request at Camp Nou at the end of the 2019-20 campaign, with Manchester City, Inter and Bayern Munich all linked with the Argentine and a possible switch to MLS also mooted.



Barca managed to convince Messi to play on for one more season though, and after helping the club win the Copa del Rey under Ronald Koeman, he changed his mind about calling a halt to his 21-year career in Catalunya.


What will Messi bring to PSG?

PSG have signed a man who will surely be remembered as the finest player to ever grace the Camp Nou turf, with his staggering record of 672 goals through 778 appearances for Barca unlikely to be broken in the near or distant future.



Messi helped the Blaugrana win 34 trophies in total, including four Champions Leagues and 10 La Liga titles, having initially made his debut for the club as a 17-year-old back in 2004.



The Argentina international's vast experience and insatiable hunger for major silverware could prove invaluable for PSG as they bid for success on both domestic and European fronts in 2021-22.


Head coach Mauricio Pochettino will be expected to wrestle the Ligue 1 title back from Lille and take the club all the way in Europe, with Messi set to complete a mouth-watering front three alongside ex-Barca team-mate Neymar and World Cup winner Kylian Mbappe

   Michelle Obama Calls Out Donald Trump on TikTok: "He's Wrong for the USA In a surprise move, former First Lady Michelle Obama took to TikTok today to share her thoughts on Donald Trump's presidency. And she didn't mince words. In a brief video posted on her official TikTok account, Obama stated unequivocally that Trump is "wrong for the USA." But she made it clear that she wasn't speaking out as a politician, but as a woman of color. "I'm not speaking out against Donald Trump because I'm a politician," Obama said. "I'm speaking out because I'm a woman of color, and I know what it's like to be marginalized and oppressed. I know what it's like to have my voice silenced and my rights ignored." Obama's comments come as no surprise to many, given her long history of advocating for women's rights, civil rights, and social justice. Trump's divisive rhetoric and policies, she argued, are antithetical to t
