PSG have completed the signing of Lionel Messi on a two-year contract with the option for an extra year.
The 34-year-old wanted to re-sign with boyhood club Barcelona, but La Liga vetoed Messi's new five-year contract as the club had breached salary limit rules.
Messi bid an emotional farewell to Barca this week, but has now committed his future to the Parisians.
He will reportedly earn €35 million (£30m/$41m) per annum in wages with the French giants.
"I am delighted that Lionel Messi has chosen to join Paris Saint-Germain and we are proud to welcome him to Paris, with his family," said Nasser Al-Khelaifi, the club president.
"He did not hide his desire to continue to evolve at the highest level and to win trophies. The ambition of the club is of course identical. The addition of Leo to our world-class team confirms the relevance and success of our recruitment. Together with our great coach and his staff, I look forward to seeing our team make history for all of our supporters around the world."
