And the queue at the club's official shop in Paris was so long that it went all the way back to the metro station - and this means that the fans are ready to wait hours before buying Messi shirt.

The 34-year-old originally wore the number 30 when he broke into the Catalans' senior team about 17 years ago, and he is ready to don the number again at this stage of his career.

Meanwhile, Messi's arrival has increased PSG's Instagram followers to about 44 million from their less than 20 million prior to his coming.

They are also expected to witness higher attendances and more commercial opportunities than ever before following the marquee signing.

But Barcelona has anticipated that Messi's departure could end up costing the Blaugrana a whopping €137 million in brand value. Brand Finance estimate a loss of €17 million on matchdays, €43 million relating to the merchandise, and €77 million in business revenue.
