Unexpected twist in one of the most interesting transfer markets in recent times

If you thought you had seen everything about the Mbappé soap opera, fasten your seatbelts because today we bring you a real plot twist. It seems that Lionel Messi was doing intelligence work to convince Kylian Mbappé to turn his back on Real Madrid and sign for his beloved FC Barcelona. You won't believe the Frenchman's response.

Yesterday, Diario Gol magazine revealed a phrase that Lionel Messi said to Kylian Mbappé before embarking on a trip to Miami. "You deserve a winning project", were the words of the Argentine to the French star that were taken as, in addition to advice from a wise man, a direct dart towards Paris Saint Germain.

Now, that controversy left the phrase that came later, which is even more interesting than that, in the shadows. Lionel Messi told Mbappé that, if it were up to him, he would love him to sign for FC Barcelona, but if there was no other option, he would go to Real Madrid. This was taken in the first place as a help from Messi to Madrid, but the reality is that it is the opposite.

Messi's attempt to convince Mbappé

That Lionel Messi makes the slightest attempt to bring Barcelona closer to a player who has been convinced that he wants to play for Real Madrid since he can remember, is much more valuable than everyone thinks. And it is that the chances of Mbappé choosing another team over Madrid and that on top of that being Barcelona, are slim; Even so, the Argentine chose to use his chances.
