Argentinian star Lionel Messi, former captain of Barcelona, has received an unexpected offer for his transfer this summer. ESPN reported that Tottenham Hotspur has made an offer to Messi to join this summer. The network added that Messi has received numerous calls from various clubs, including the English side Tottenham.
Additionally, Sky Sports revealed that Paris Saint-Germain has offered Messi a two-season contract, with an annual salary of £25 million per season. Messi's contract with Barcelona expired on June 30, and the Catalan club failed to renew it due to financial problems and regulations imposed by La Liga regarding salary caps.
During a press conference held yesterday to bid farewell to his teammates and fans at the club, Messi confirmed that joining Paris Saint-Germain is among the options available, but he denied having signed with the club. He stated that he has not reached a final agreement with any team and that he has received several calls from clubs interested in his transfer during the current summer transfer window, with his agents in negotiations and communications with multiple teams.
