Lionel Messi was advised that he could help a team winning the championship if he came there – a deal enough to create shock throughout Europe.
Currently, Messi still has a contract with Inter Miami until the end of 2025, after signing a lucrative contract in the summer of 2023. Before that, he had two seasons for PSG and 21 years with Barca.
Before leaving Barca to join PSG in 2021, Messi was contacted with many Premier League clubs, including Chelsea and Man City. Although he did not land in the end, Messi recently thought to help Arsenal won the first Premier League championship since 2004 if he moved to this North London team.
It is Andy Goldstein – the MC of TalkSport – who made this statement. He believes that Messi can solve Arsenal's biggest problem: the striker position. “I think if Messi kicks the highest in Arsenal attack, they will win the Premier League,” Goldstein said.
“I tell the truth.
Goldstein added: “I know Messi is not a traditional striker. But he can still take on that role. If Messi comes to Arsenal, I believe they will win the Premier League.”
Meanwhile, expert Jason Cundy regretted that Messi had chosen to PSG instead of the Premier League in 2021. When asked whether Messi should choose England, he replied: “It is true that it was a great opportunity for Messi to join the tournament in the world. But he chose PSG.”
Although never playing in the Premier League, Messi has encountered many British clubs throughout his career – and often in a way that makes them have a “nightmare”. The 8 -time player who won the Golden Ball used to play 36 matches with the “Big Six” teams of the Premier League, scored 27 goals and had 6 assists – an impressive figure showing his dominance against British teams.
However, the possibility of Messi joining a Premier League club in the near future is still very far away, even when he decided to prolong his career after finishing his contract with Inter Miami.
Meanwhile, Arsenal is still looking for a true striker in the summer transfer period 2025, with two names targeted by Benjamin Sesko and Viktor Gyokeres.
