How much did Messi cost PSG : Transfer Fee?
As far as the transfer fee is concerned, PSG has not had to spend a single penny to get Lionel Messi from Barcelona as Messi was already at the end of his contract and the reason the move materialized was because Barcelona were unable to get a contract signed and agreed due to the financial status of their club.
Messi did desire to stay at Camp Nou but his attempts to stay were rejected last week by the Spanish league because his salary would not comply with financial regulations. The Catalan club is burdened with more than 1.2 billion euros ($1.4bn) in debt, and thus was not in a situation to entertain a new contract.
