Lionel Messi has claimed that despite having a lot of offers following his departure from PSG, he did not consider joining another European team instead of Barcelona.
Leo Messi explains why he did not choose a European team to continue his career - Iniesta stated the same thing."I left Europe," he said. The reality is that I got offers from European teams, but I determined that in Europe, I could only return to Barcelona. After winning the World Cup and being unable to return to Barcelona,
"I chose to go to MLS in order to see football in a different light and enjoy it on a daily basis." Obviously, I'll approach it with the same sense of responsibility and desire to win, but with more calm."
This is very similar to what Andres Iniesta said when asked why he didn't want to join a European team after leaving Barcelona.
"We'll know what's next when the season ends," Iniesta remarked. There are still issues to resolve. I vowed I'd never play against Barcelona, so it won't be in Europe. We'll find out at the end of the season."
One distinction between these examples is that Iniesta departed Europe soon after leaving Barcelona to play for Vissel Kobe in Japan. Messi, on the other hand, joined PSG after leaving Barcelona in 2021.
Leo will now leave European football after nearly two decades of professional experience to play for Inter Miami.
Over the last two decades, no team in the world has been able to make such an impression during the transfer market as Real Madrid.
Real Madrid has smashed the world transfer record four times since the turn of the millennium, with deals for Zinedine Zidane, Kaka, Cristiano Ronaldo, and Gareth Bale.
During that time, they've also made moves for James Rodriguez, Aurelien Tchouameni, and Eden Hazard that didn't break any records, but put them in the top 50 most expensive signings in history.
They supposedly added another ostentatious signing to their long line of high-priced recruits today.
According to The Athletic's David Ornstein, Real Madrid and Borussia Dortmund have agreed on a fee of more than 100 million euros for star midfielder Jude Bellingham.
Bellingham has established himself as a talented creator, leading Dortmund to within one win of winning the Bundesliga this season, with the squad falling short on the last day of the season due to Bellingham's absence.
He will now join a Real Madrid team that finished second in their league this season but advanced to the Champions League semifinals before being ousted by Manchester City.
Real Madrid has benefited from one of the strongest midfields in international football in recent years, thanks to Luca Modric, Toni Kroos, and Casemiro, but has already begun to rebuild that midfield, with Casemiro having been moved to Manchester United and the other two both aging.Bellingham will play with Tchouameni and Federico Valverde in the midfield, joining a young core that features Vinicius Junior and Rodrygo up front, as well as Eder Militia and Eduardo Camavinga on defense.
Real Madrid will undergo significant changes as a result of Karim Benzema's departure, but they have already taken significant steps to maintain their position as one of the world's top football clubs.
