Paris Saint-Germain star Lionel Messi revealed Saturday that he had offers from multiple clubs following his Barcelona departure over the summer.
Speaking to L'Equipe (h/t ESPN's Alex Kirkland), Messi said:
"I was lucky to be contacted by various clubs and one of them was Paris Saint-Germain. I'm grateful to the club. They treated me well from the beginning. They showed that they really wanted me.
"I had other offers, but I have to say that we came to an agreement quickly with PSG. It wasn't straightforward because everything had to be sorted out in a short amount of time, practically from one day to the next.
