After spending his entire career thus far turning out for Catalan giants FC Barcelona, Lionel Messi, 34, is set to call the Parc des Princes home after putting pen to paper on a two-year deal that will link him to the capital club through to 2023 and perhaps beyond should the option for a third year be activated.
