PARIS : French soccer club Paris Saint Germain (PSG) said on Thursday the wage package of its new Argentine soccer star Lionel Messi will include the crypto currency "US$PSG Fan Tokens".
"This initiative positions Paris St Germain once more as one of the most innovative and avant-garde brands in sport globally", the club said in a statement.
Messi joined PSG this week as a free agent after Barcelona acknowledged they could no longer afford him.
