LIVE: Fans gather at Paris airport as Messi expected to land

Ruptly is live outside Bourget Airport in Paris on Tuesday, August 10, as Argentine football star Lionel Messi is expected to land. This comes amid reported negotiations with French team Paris Saint-Germain, which has already hinted at the signing of Messi. Messi’s departure from FC Barcelona was announced by the club last Thursday. The Catalan side said the parties were unable to reach an agreement due to 'financial and structural obstacles.' On Sunday, speaking to the FC Barcelona board and his teammates, Messi reacted to his departure in tears, and mentioned that joining PSG is 'a possibility.' The 34-year old football star had been with the club since 2003, winning 35 titles during that time.
