Argentina star Lionel Messi underwent his first ever training session with Paris Saint-Germain after his blockbuster move from Barcelona.
The six-time Ballon d’Or winner left La Masia after 17 title-laden years when the club announced his departure last week and then put pen to paper on a two-year contract deal with PSG on Tuesday.
The ex-Blaugrana talisman has linked up with a raft of football stars, such as Kylian Mbappe, Angel Di Maria, former Real Madrid rival Sergio Ramos and ex-Barcelona team-mate Neymar.
Messi got to work with his new colleagues for the first time today at Camp des Loges.
The 34-year-old Argentine forward was snapped conversing and hugging with Mbappe upon his arrival.
The four-time UEFA Champions League winner was then pictured mixing it up in practice with the likes of Marquinhos, Mauro Icardi, Marco Verratti, Neymar and Di Maria.
Messi’s No.30 shirt is already available in stores, the same goes for fellow signing Ramos, who will wear No.4.
Messi is expected to make headlines around the world for a long while after his shock move to PSG that is anticipated to earn him £1million per week.
In fact, the Argentina superstar is being paid in cryptocurrency for a 'significant part' of his £25m signing-on fee.
PSG said in a statement the tokens included in his 'welcome package', or signing on fee, had been provided by Socios.com, who are the Ligue 1 giants' fan token provider.
