Spanish press reports that last summer the football market could have been shaken by an unusual case - as many as three clubs wanted to buy the best player in the world Lionel Messi for 250 million euros.

Specifically, this ransom amount, which is stipulated in the Argentine's contract, was intended to be split in half by Munich's "Bayern" and their sponsor "Adidas."

The Germans intended to increase the current striker's annual salary by up to 20 million euros and also not touch the income received from advertising.

However, L. Messi rejected the offer, citing that he is happy in the "Barcelona" team.

According to the media, another club that unsuccessfully tried to buy the player's contract has also been revealed. This is London's "Chelsea."
