TIL Desk Sports/ A-League side Adelaide United have issued a long-shot bid to talismanic footballer Lionel Messi to join their ranks. The Australian side’s Director Ian Smith wrote a letter titled “Dear Lionel” following media reports about the Argentine wanting to quit his long association with Barcelona FC.
“While Paris Saint-Germain, Manchester United and others may be chasing your signature, wouldn’t you really like to go somewhere different?” wrote Smith in the letter posted on the club’s Facebook page on Wednesday. Smith cited his state’s “brilliant” schools, tourist attractions and world-class wines as reasons the Argentine should head Down Under.
“Indeed, as a consumer of Penfolds Grange, one of the world’s finest wines, we will find you a house in the suburb of Magill — It’s just a free-kick away from Penfolds’ award-winning Magill Estate restaurant, where you will have a regular table at your disposal,” he said.
