FOOTBALL : LIONEL MESSI OFFICIALLY NOW FOR SALE FOR USD $835 MILLION - - TAKER, ANYONE?

Lionel Messi, the greatest footballer that ever walked on Earth, has signed a new contract with his club Barcelona, ending months of wild speculations about his possible career move.

With his new contact - - signed, sealed and delivered - - Lionel Messi @LeoMessi will continue his romance with his first love, Barcelona @FCBarcelona, until 2021.

Well, unless, you wanna try buy him?

His new buy-out clause is a bank-crashing USD $835 Million Dollars!

Take that.

In December 2016, the Chinese Super League sophomore Hebei China Fortune FC shook the football world when it offered a record-breaking USD $625 Million Dollars on the table, to buy Messi.

It was, and still is, the biggest offer for a single player, to date - - set to break all records in football, 5 times over.

It literally sent the world of football to a complete head-spin.

But apparently, the Chinese money superpower didn't shake Messi, a single bit ?

Following the signing of his new contract , Messi has reiterated, it is his dream to retire at Barcelona.

Barcelona is Lionel Messi's first love, joining the Spanish ward at age 13, leaving behind his childhood club in his native 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, some 17 years ago.

Today, that scanty paper napkin is worth USD $.8 Billion Dollars!
