You do realize its the Spanish Aprils Fools day today?
Rumours about a bid for Messi started last weekend, in fairness.
Funny thing is, he already earns that much at Barca. Essentially, the offer put to him was to make the same money, play for a worse team, and leave one of the nicest cities in Europe for a craphole in wartorn southern Russia. No brainer.
He earns no where near that much at barca there so crippled with debt it would not suprise me to take a bid like that in 2 years for him
