100% my first thought. If given the choice between Kane for (a minimum of around) £150 million, or Messi on a free? I know which one I'd go for...

He could live in Ocean Village - nice and close to Ikea to furnish his new place

Article is saying he was prepared to accept £20 million a year at Barcelona , so 2.5 years....
If only..

Messi on a free would want £150M as his signing on fee - plus his agent's fees paid by the club.
You've got to feel sorry for the bloke though - there were Barcelona prepared to pay him 50% of his multi-million pound wages until he was almost 40 (more fool them), then the nasty Spanish league comes along and stops them doing it. Aww .......... the poor man is now unemployed and probably doesn't even qualify for the Spanish equivalent of social security. Pray for Messi!
.......... or not.

Going to Leeds surely - or a massive club like Wednesday?

No, keep it in your pocket Tony!
I know it won't happen, but I would absolutely love it (and it would be a wonderful move for football as a whole, with the money just getting ......... just getting? - already got! - stupid) of Messi's agent was now to go round all the big clubs to get just the same answer - "Yes, he's good we know - but at that price, stroll on". It wouldn't hurt Messi - he's well-minted for life (and probably his agent is too), but if the guy wants to play football for the next few years he can, of course he can, but not getting paid £millions a year.
Sadly it won't happen. If not Barcelona, then some other stupid club will offer him a multi million pound signing on fee and a £10M-£20M a year contract for five years. Whoever does it, I would honestly be happy to see them go bust and cease to exist, and that's a terrible thing to wish on any football club - but if it stopped, or at least put a break on the gravy train that the likes of Messi are draining from football, then so be it.
Messi leaving Barca
You’re right. We’ve got more chance of signing Donald Trump as a replacement for Ben White.
However, in a parallel universe where good things happen to good people, it would happen like this.
Messi would be obsessed with the ultimate challenge. Could he pick any EPL side and lead them to win the league? We’d be the prime candidate for this because we create so many opportunities and defend very well, our Xg would turn from -20 to +20, that would put us up there with Man City. Funding this would be tricky, our global merch sales would go off the chart as Messi navigated us to our first Premier League title, he would need a big cut of the that pie in addition to the White money split over two seasons (£25m per annum) and a generous portion of shares in the club.
This is an improbable dream though, I’m off to buy my new Trump card and see if he’s available in the hope that he solves our distribution and ball carrying needs from defence to attack next season with top level pace to make those last ditch tackles.
