Lionel Messi had done it again. He’s stealing all the headlines but this time for the wrong reasons, as he recently told FC Barcelona that he intends to leave the club immediately instead of waiting until 2021. As you may think, there were countless memes and edits about the situation.
Everybody on earth would love to have an athlete of Messi’s caliber on his team. His addition would be massive for any franchise of any sport, and his jersey would most likely be sold out in a matter of seconds.
Messi has become a fan favorite all over the world since he made his debut with Barcelona, so it’s no wonder to see soccer teams from every country try and make a run at the superstar. Obviously, just a handful of them has an actual chance to sign him but that hasn’t stopped the lesser-tier clubs fromtesting the waters.
Moreover, Messi’s so highly-coveted right now that even sports teams outside of soccer have offered the Argentine playmaker a deal, with hilarious edits of the Barcelona starwearing another team’s jersey flooding the internet for hours.
From F1 to Triple-A baseball, to the NBA. Everybody wants a piece of Lionel Messi and will do whatever it takes to join his sweepstakes, even if most reports claim that he’s poised tojoin Pep Guardiola and Manchester City this summer.
But then again, we’ve already seen Michael Jordan quit the NBA to pursue a career in baseball, and great athletes like Deion Sanders thrived in two sports at the time. That’s not going to be Lio’s case but you know what they say: hope is the last thingthat dies.
