Messi could've played in this Mexican club, but they didn't sign him as they thought he wasn't good

Lionel Messi could have had a different destiny from the one we know now, because of his history and what he did at FC Barcelona, where the Culé team opened the door for him at an early age, risking money, in an investment that ultimately gave positive results. With this, the club was able to secure the best player in the world, in his best years.

But what is surprising is that a Mexican club had the chance to sign the player. However, at that time there was no doubt about the quality, but there were doubts about whether paying the money for the treatment would give the expected results. Therefore, due to the issue of money and the investment that had to be made, Messi did not sign for a team from Mexico.

This is how in an interview on TUDN, Anselmo Alonso explained that Lionel Messi was able to reach the Rayos del Necaxa team, a team to which Messi was offered in exchange for having him but also paying for treatment for growth. But within the club, he was told no, although he did not specify the reason why Necaxa backed down in the negotiation.

The Argentine player at the time played at the Azul stadium, all for a charity match that moved Messi to Mexico City, where the athlete faced Jorge Campos in that friendly match. In addition to that, he also played in Cancun, in a friendly match.
