Some fans of Arsenal Football Club are desirous to have Lionel Messi join their club after Barcelona announced that the Argentine will leave the club.This was further fuelled by a tweet by an Italian journalist who specializes in football, Fabrizio Romano, who hash-tagged Arsenal while announcing Messi’s departure from Barcelona.
The PUNCH had reported Lionel Messi will end his 20-year career with Barcelona after the Argentine superstar failed to reach agreement on a new deal with the club. Thursday’s stunning announcement marked a new turnaround in a long-running saga where Barcelona had appeared certain to keep Messi, widely regarded as one of the greatest players of all time.
He had tried to leave last August as a free agent but the expectation was that he would remain with the Spanish giants for another five years, until 2026 when he would be 39.However, he had been a free agent since June 30 when his old agreement expired. Apart from the fans clamouring to have Messi, earlier reports indicated that the Barcelona legend was ‘tempted’ to join Arsenal back in 2003.
