An unnamed Russian club was ready to shake up the football world by offering an incredible salary to "Barcelona" leader Lionel Messi.

A few weeks ago, when the Argentine had not yet extended his contract with the Catalan team, his father, Jorge, received an interesting phone call.

Representatives of the Russian team quickly laid out their terms: L. Messi would receive a staggering 90 million euros over three years, and they would also pay a redemption sum of 250 million euros.

Jorge immediately contacted his son, but Lionel was not impressed by the offer.
