The incredible reason why Lionel Messi could ruin Raul Jiménez's future

The clash against David Luiz in the match versus Arsenal was a huge problem for Raul Jiménez. Not only in Wolverhampton, where he could not for several months, but also on his career. Because he was the star of the team and one of the deadliest strikers of the Premier League.

There was a strong rumor about Raul Jiménez signing for FC Barcelona in replacement of Luis Suarez now that the team does not have a solid number 9. After the injury, this transfer got paused and could be resumed by the next transfer window if the player is healthy. What does Messi have to do with this?

There is a huge scandal in FC Barcelona, nobody knows where is Messi going to be playing next season. That’s why they are taking any chance they have to retain him. One strong opportunity is bringing one of his best friends, Sergio Agüero, whose contract at Manchester City will end soon.

This left Raul Jiménez out of FC Barcelona’s radar. Although the Mexican is young and maybe on a better shape, signing Agüero could mean extending the contract of Lionel Messi, and that is the main objective of the team. It depends on Lio’s decision, and on the offer of Manchester to Sergio Agüero.
