Possible Destinations For Lionel Messi
By Ekene Dike
When the world’s best player decides to call time on his playing career at his current club, the biggest clubs in the world slug it out for his signature.
Lionel Messi’s decision to part ways with FC Barcelona where he started his career came as a shocking news to the football world.
After a total of 731 games, 634 goals, 285 assists, 10 La Liga titles, 6 Copa Del Rey trophies, 4 Uefa Champions League trophies, 3 FIFA Club World Cup trophies, 3 Uefa Super Cup trophies, 8 Spanish Super Cup trophies, 6 Ballon d’0r awards, 6 European Golden Shoe awards, finishing as the top goalscorer in the Uefa Champions League six times and many more laurels, the Catalan giants’ skipper is on the verge of joining another team.
Now in the twilight of his sublime career, everyone thought he will retire at the club after declining offers from other sides in the past.
These are clubs he could ply his trade with in the eleventh hour:
- Manchester City: Pep Guardiola’s unquantifiable love and admiration for Lionel Messi makes Manchester City the top option for Messi.
City’s current manager built his Barcelona team around Messi while he managed the Catalans and they won a lot of trophies.
Luring Messi to England won’t be hard, since both of them have worked together enjoyably in the past.
2. PSG: They are the big spenders in the transfer window. Every player wants astronomical wages for the efforts they put on the field. As a matter of fact, offering Lionel Messi a tantalizing contract to join the French outfits could be the next plan for PSG.
3. Manchester United: Everyone knows that playing for the Red Devils is a dream come true. Many of the best players in the world have worn a Manchester United jersey. It won’t be a bad idea for the Argentine to showcase his football sorcery at Old Trafford.
