FOOTBALL : LIONEL MESSI OFFERED A SHOCKING USD $625 MILLION TO JOIN CHINA !
China can literally shake the world.Tweet
Economics. Politics. Internet. Markets. Football.
You name it.
It certainly can, and they love to show it.
With a world-record-shattering offer of more than half a Billion Euros on the table for a single player, China has sent the world of football to a complete head-spin.
Chinese Super League sophomore Hebei China Fortune FC -- just a 6-year-old football club in China -- has offered a mind-boggling EUR €500 Million for Lionel Messi.
The gigantic offer -- roughly USD $625 Million -- is set to break all records in football, 5 times over.
With his contract set to expire in 2018, Lionel Messi -- the greatest footballer that ever walked on Earth -- had been currently in talks with his club Barcelona.
Whatever talks there had been, the Chinese had simply derailed them with their bank-crashing offer.
Barcelona is Lionel Messi's first love, joining the Spanish ward at age 13, leaving behind his childhood club in Argentina.
His rather unusual love story with Barcelona began with a contract born out of haste, signed on a paper napkin over dinner in a restaurant.
And, the rest is history, as we put it.
Some 16 years later, that paper napkin contract is worth more than half a billion dollars!
Can money not buy everything?
Well, Demi Moore once disagreed with the worldly idea of that 'indecent proposal', remember?
But yeah, money can't buy happiness -- perhaps.
But I like how Bo Derek puts it.
Whoever said money can't buy happiness, just didn't know where to shop!
Now, Lionel Messi and Barcelona have more than half a billion reasons to think about.
Why not?
