An emotional Lionel Messi broke down in tears as he bid his final goodbye to Barcelona at a news conference on Sunday.
The Argentinian star says he did not want to leave the football club.
FC Barcelona, also known as Barca, says it can't keep Messi with the team due to salary cap constraints in the Spanish league.
He is now in talks with Paris Saint-Germain, but nothing is finalised yet.
Cash-rich PSG is one of the few clubs able to afford the Argentinian, who confirmed he is leaving the club where he has played his entire career.
