Arguably the greatest player of all time, Lionel Messi, is expected to deliver his farewell address at Barcelona later today.
The press conference will be live-streamed on the official Barcelona YouTube page.
Speculation as to where Messi will go has been fevered, but realistically only a handful (if even that) of big clubs are really in the running.
Manchester City was touted as an early contender, but have already spent a sizeable sum on Jack Grealish.
Despite his long history managing Messi, Guardiola said the Argentinian legend was not on City's radar.
The other club in the running for Messi is PSG, and it looks like they will get their man.
Fabrizio Romano, who is one of the most trusted football journalist, broke the details of contract on Twitter.

This comes on the heels of days of almost-confirmations from various parties.
