Lionel Messi Had Wanted to Leave for Chelsea

DBasia.news – In 2004 Lionel Messi apparently wanted to play at Chelsea. Messi revealed his desire to be trained by Jose Mourinho at that time.

Lionel Messi is a Barcelona icon. He started his career at La Mansia aka Barcelona’s youth team from 2000. Then in 2005, the Argentian player broke into the main squad.

From there, history slowly wrote sweet. Messi scores goal after goal, win trophy after trophy.

From Transfermarkt’s data, Lionel Messi has now recorded more than 30 trophies and more than 10 individual awards. He has scored 635 goals in 734 appearances in all competitions.

Reported by the Spanish media, Marca, apparently there is a story that rarely football fans know about Lionel Messi. To be precise, when Messi was 17 years old in 2004.

From the report of a journalist from Argentina, Gianluca Di Marzio, he said that at that time Messi wanted to go to Chelsea!

Lionel Messi is known to be quite fond of Jose Mourinho, who at that time coached Chelsea. Because previously, Jose Mourinho served as assistant coach of Barcelona from 1996 to 2000.

Mourinho also seems to have known that Messi at that time had the seeds as a big player. It’s just reported that there is no agreement between Messi, Barcelona and Chelsea.

However, this journalist’s report should be explored deeper. Because, Barcelona and Lionel Messi’s side have been talking about this at all.

It’s just that, there was news that Lionel Messi was a teenager who was targeted by many clubs. One of them, Arsenal.
