Messi rejects first offer from PSG
According to French sports daily Foot Mercato, Lionel Messi has rejected his first offer from Paris Saint-Germain after considering a move abroad. Reports indicate that Al-Hilal may be interested in signing him.
The seven-time Ballon d’Or winner hailing from Argentina was born and began playing football at a young age. Unfortunately, he was diagnosed with growth hormone deficiency which severely restricted his growth and required costly medical treatments to address.
Due to the country’s economic downturn, his hometown club River Plate expressed interest in him but lacked funds for medical bills. Carles Rexach, Barcelona’s then sporting director, offered to cover Messi’s medical costs if he agreed to join their squad.
He then moved to Barcelona with his father and joined the club’s youth academy, eventually winning La Liga and La Copa del Rey for Barcelona as well as taking part in UEFA Champions League matches.
Messi’s agent lands in Barcelona
Yesterday, Jorge Messi – Lionel’s dad and agent – arrived in Barcelona to meet with the club hierarchy. Rumors indicate that Lionel will leave at the end of this season after 16 years at Barcelona.
Joan Laporta, Barca president, has promised to persuade Messi to stay at the club and has now met with him to discuss a potential new deal. Both parties remain optimistic that an agreement can be reached.
In June, 33-year-old Free Agent Josemi became a free agent after his contract with Barcelona expired. Rumours have swirled that PSG and Manchester City may be interested in signing him.
He will have the final say on where he plays, though it seems unlikely that he will return to Barcelona after such a lengthy absence. A move to Paris Saint-Germain would provide him with financial security and give him an edge in Champions League competition. Furthermore, having family close by in Paris provides another advantage for him.
