(Paris): Lionel Messi has agreed a deal with Paris St-Germain to join the French side following his shock exit from Barcelona, says Spanish football journalist Guillem Balague.

The deal is subject to a medical.

The 34-year-old Argentina captain left Barca - the only club he has ever played for - as they were unable to afford a new deal under La Liga's financial fair play rules.

Mauricio Pochettino's PSG finished second to Lille in Ligue 1 last season.
