It was revealed that the player’s agent Mino Raiola is in the French capital Paris to complete the transfer to PSG who offered a higher salary than Barcelona.
Premier League giants Manchester United were also in the running after making an offer of £75m (transfer fee) and £350,000 (weekly wages) for him but the lack of Champions League football was their greatest undoing.
Newly crowned Champions League winners Liverpool also wanted to sign him but the Reds will miss out to PSG.
Apart from PSG, Manchester United and Liverpool, others like Bayern Munich and Juventus also tried to sign him.
