Barcelona striker Lionel Messi was in one agent's decision from the transition to Real Madrid.
Today, June 24, one of the best players in history turns 30.
According to Globo Esporte, the Argentine striker in 13 years could go not to Barcelona, ??but to Real Madrid.
Football agent Horacio Gagioli in an interview with the publication told that because of his decision, the Madrid club may have lost Messi.
The fact is that then Gagioli moved to live in Spain and had two options - Barcelona and Madrid. The choice fell on the capital of Catalonia.
"When I moved to Barcelona, ??I suggested that they look at the 13-year-old from Rosario. I myself saw him for the first time at the airport, and the first thought was "he can not become a football player". But seeing him in training, I immediately changed my mind about Leo.
If then I moved to Madrid, Messi could now shine in a Real Madrid shirt, "- quotes agent Globo.
