When and where will Messi's PSG presentation be?
Leo Messi is set to be officially unveiled by Paris Saint-Germain this week after joining the Ligue 1 club on a two-year deal.
Leo Messi flew into Paris-Le Bourget Airport on Tuesday ahead of the official announcement of his deal to join PSG from Barcelona, with an army of fans waiting to greet the Argentina captain as he made his arrival in the French capital. Messi has agreed to a two-year deal at the Parc des Princes, with the option of a third season, after leaving Barcelona as a free agent after 21 years at the Liga side, who were unable to come up with the funds to retain the six-times Ballon d'Or winner due to salary cap constraints.
Having undergone a medical in Paris later on Tuesday and completed various formalities, he is expected to install himself and his family in the Royal Monceau hotel in the 8th arrondissement, a stone-throw from the Arc de Triomphe and the Champs-Élysées.
