Real Madrid revealed a fantastic offer rejected by Lionel Messi
The Spanish newspaper "Marca" reported today that the captain and star of Barcelona, Lionel Messi, was close to moving to play for Real Madrid in 2013. It said that the president of the royal club, Laurentino Perez, prepared a fictional offer that was presented to Messi, but the latter rejected it. He preferred to continue with Barcelona.
The order revealed the Italian journalist Gianluca Di Martzio, who has extensive relations with the players' agents, as he said that the Madrid administration discussed the matter of strengthening the team's ranks in the summer of 2013, and that was before the start of the royal club's dominance of European football.
He said Perez was eager to stop Barcelona's ascendancy and hire a superstar.
De Martís said that the offer from Perez was in the range of 250 million euros, along with incentives and a fantastic salary for Messi, but the latter rejected it.
He confirmed that Messi responded, saying: You are wasting your time, I will not leave Barcelona.
The Italian journalist also revealed that other offers had come from Intermilan and Man City, but they were also rejected.
