BILD dropped the BOMB again! "Messi signs at FC Bayern Munich"
The "Highlight" of the century was announced earlier today according to the german newspaper BILD. Lionel Messi will wear the bavarian jersey for the following 4 years. Transfer record sum for FC Barcelona!
Just a few hours prior to the Champions League quarter finals first leg of both teams FC Bayern Munich and FC Barcelona the german newspaper BILD fires up the the global football transfer market. In an exclusive publication they report that both teams shook hands and agreed to the transfer of the player to Pep Guardiola's team this summer.
The numbers standing in the room regarding this transfer are outrageous and remind the galactic times of Real Madrid when spending enormous amounts to stay on the top of the world. We are speaking about numbers no one can deny. Not even the big FC Barcelona.
Take a deep breath and follow. FC Barcelona having signed their argentinian player a few months ago till 2018, will cash in a check of 160.000.000 Euro to see their all time favorite player leave the club. This is by far the biggest transfer sum after Cristiano Ronaldo's transfer from Manchester United to Real Madrid a few years ago for 97.000.000 Euro.
As far as the player itself, Lionel Messi signed a four year contract with an annual salary of 25.000.000 Euro! Through this contract he becomes once again the highest paid player in the world. This exact amount of 100.000.000 Euro was also what Lionel Messi was asking Barcelona to pay him to stay in the catalanian city.
Messi joined the list of players deciding to play for the german team just so he can be coached by the most successful manager of this century Pepe Guardiola. At this point we would like to remind last weeks words of Maradona stating that "Bayern would be unbeatable with Messi". And of course he had made this statement to BILD. Very likely the germans already new about the agreement and just wanted to confirming a 100% truth of this amazing fact.
Or even more likely they just waited for the right moment to drop the bomb and shake the whole planet. Besides this would not be the first time. Prior to last years Champions League final between FC Bayern Munich and Borussia Dortmund they brought hell down to earth for the fans of Borussia Dortmund by reporting Mario Goetze's transfer from one team to the other.
That being said the spotlight will as well fall to Lionel Messi's statement after his game against Atletico Madrid tonight as to the fans of the catalanian team and how they are going to react to loosing their beloved child.
