If he chose to continue his career at Inter Miami, refusing a billion euros offered by Saudi Arabia, Lionel Messi also received offers from clubs in Europe: Inter Milan but especially Newcastle, held by the Saudis.
When explaining his choice to sign at Inter Miami on Monday, Lionel Messi claimed to have received offers from other European teams “but that his” idea was to return to Barcelona “. At almost 36 years old, the Ballon d’Or record holder would not have received any guarantee from the Catalan club and thus accepted the deal offered by Inter Miami, despite the offer of one billion euros from Saudi Arabia.
Two European clubs have obviously contacted the entourage of the “Pulga” and, according to the Barcelona media The Goal, and even two teams qualified for the next Champions League, since it is Newcastle and Inter Milan! Messi could very well have discovered a new championship of the Old Continent in a few months…
Messi in the Premier League, never
Thus, Messi not only refused to play two years in Saudi Arabia, he also declined a probably staggering offer from Newcastle, a club owned by the PIF, the overpowering investment fund of Saudi Arabia. At the Magpies, he would even have played the leading roles in the Premier League.
The captain of the 2022 world champions will not have the opportunity to evolve in England, in a particularly intense championship, where he would perhaps not have shone as much as in Ligue 1 (he remains for a season at 16 goals and 16 assists with the PSG).
Can Lionel Messi ???? play in the Premier League today?
