French fans and media alike were salivating on the effect the superstar’s mooted arrival at Paris Saint-Germain would have on the club and the French league as a whole amid reports the Argentinian will end up in the capital.
As France awaited developments with bated breath, Barcelona said Messi will hold a press conference on Sunday while coach Ronald Koeman struggled to accept the sweet sorrow of parting.
“Still hard to understand that you will not play for @FCBarcelona anymore,” tweeted Koeman. “Thanks for everything you have done for our club Leo. I really enjoyed the full season we worked together. I am impressed with your work ethic and desire to win.”
