Lionel Messi finally completed his move to Paris Saint Germain on August 10th after signing a 2-year contract with the option of a third year. "I am impatient to start a new chapter of my career in Paris. The club and its vision are in perfect harmony with my ambitions," said the Argentina skipper. With outstanding wages penned down for the 34 year old, PSG are now set to have at least 10 players included in the transfer list and hopefully sold. This big decision comes so as to finance Messi's wage bill as well as the entire squad.
The French club has offered the best player in the world a salary worth around €35million a season after tax. Messi will take home €729,000 a week, or €104,000 a day or €8,680 per hour or €144.68 per minute or €2.41 per second. These are all rough estimates, of course. On top of that, Messi will also pocket a €25m signing fee. In short, the Argentine will be pocketing Ksh 12Million a day.
PSG are very much open to offers for the likes of Abdou Diallo, Thilo Kehrer, Idrissa Gueye and Rafinha, while they could even let Mauro Icardi and Ander Herrera leave despite the pair being keen on staying. Although there is uncertainty surrounding the future of Kylian Mbappe given his contract expires next year, PSG are hopeful the addition of Messi will convince him to stay put.PSG have already sold Mitchell Bakker to Bayer Leverkusen, with Alphonse Aerola departing on loan to West Ham.
