Argentina’s River Plate tried to make one of the most high-profile transfers in football history by turning to Lionel Messi.
According to the Spanish media, at the moment when the 38-year-old forward was in doubt about continuing his career in “Inter Miami”, the club from Buenos Aires decided to take advantage of the situation and contacted the star’s entourage.
In “River” they understood that the chances were minimal, but they bet on the emotional factor – the opportunity for Messi to return to his homeland and finish his career in one of the most successful clubs in South America. Despite the interest of the Argentine giant, Messi ultimately chose stability and extended his contract with Inter Miami, finally closing the topic of a return to the Argentine championship.
