BARCELONA : Barcelona fans gathered outside Lionel Messi's house on Monday eager for a glimpse of the club's greatest ever player and spoke of their sadness at the Argentine leaving the club after 21 years.

"I feel devastated," said Cristian Garcia, wearing a Barca shirt with Messi's name and number 10 on the back. Messi said he had agreed a 50per cent pay cut in order to stay at Barca and sign a new contract but was unable to finalise the deal due to the Spanish league's financial control rules and the club's huge debts.

Messi said on Sunday that PSG was"a possibility" but that he had not yet signed any deal. French media have reported that he is on the verge of doing so, however.
