Lionel Messi’s Arsenal Dream
Probably the most shocking story you will read in internet during this transfer window. Yes, the World’s greatest footballer of this generation Lionel Messi was interested in a move to Arsenal before he penned a new deal with Barcelona.
Spanish newspaper Vozpopuli reported this news. This is the same website which first leaked the news about Alexis Sanchez’s move to Arsenal.
As per the report, the Argentinian star had a conversation with Cesc Fabregas about the life at Arsenal. Impressed with the club’s philosophy and Wenger’s style of management, he had even asked his agent to look into the possibility of a potential move. Sensing the situation, Barcelona acted fast and sealed a contract extension with their star player.
It is also believed that Arsenal had an opportunity to sign Lionel Messi during his academy days but any move failed to materialize as Barcelona were reluctant to let go of their wonder talent.
