Lionel Messi had an emotional exit from Barcelona as he made a free transfer to PSG - and his ‘final WhatsApp message’ to his team-mates saw him say he didn’t ‘want to go’.

Lionel Messi’s ‘final WhatsApp message’ to his Barcelona team-mates before leaving for PSG has emerged.

The Argentine brought an end to his 21-year stay at the Nou Camp when La Liga regulations saw the club fail to agree a contract extension for the six-time Ballon d’Or winner.


And it saw the 34-year-old head to the French side on a free deal, signing up for two years on a contract worth £60m.

Messi had an emotional last press conference at Barcelona before jetting off to Paris, even saying that he “wanted to stay” with the team he won 27 major titles for.
