Messi has become a symbol of Barcelona since Ronaldinho’s departure in 2008. The Argentinian sticker has transformed himself into one of the great footballers in the world with evidence of six Ballon d’Or wins.
The greatness of Messi turned out to make the President of Real Madrid, Florentino Perez, was tempted to take him to the Bernebeu in 2013. The situation coincided with Los Blancos restarting their European dominance and at the same time the start of the Blaugrana crisis.

“However, Messi’s response was very outspoken, he was basically saying ‘I’m not going to Real Madrid, you’re wasting time’.”
Madrid is not the only club interested in bringing Messi out of Barcelona. So far there are Inter Milan, Chelsea, Paris Saint-Germain and Manchester City who have been linked with Messi.
