Lionel Messi seems to have become the most sought-after footballer since his contract with Barcelona expired last month.

Paris Saint Germain and Manchester City have registered their interest in the Argentine since the summer of 2020 when he tried pushing to leave them with one year left on his deal.

But, after much consultation and persuasion, the 34-year-old saw out his contract at the Camp Nou and helped them win the Copa Del Rey title last season.

Dutch lower league side Volendam tried convincing Messi with the fact that they have 'great fish' the forward would enjoy, Brazilian outfit Ibis Sports Club have now joined the chase.

The Recife-based team has been branded the 'worst team in the world' following their failure to win a match in about four years in the 1980s - earning them a place in the Guinness Book of Records according to SunSport.

They wrote to Messi saying:

“We're very happy your contract is ending. Hence we offer you the chance to play for the worst team in the world.”

Their offer to the Argentine includes a 15-year contract and a productivity bonus ‘if you deserve it’.

Part of their condition for signing the six-time Ballon d'Or winner is that he mustn't score too many goals or ‘become a champion’ or face the pain of having the contract torn up.

The contract further reads that Messi will not be given the number 10 shirt as it belongs to bizarrely-named club legend Mauro Shampoo.

Volendam want to sign Messi for Free

Legit.ng earlier reported that Dutch second division club FC Volendam might also be interested in having Lionel Messi play for them next season.

The 34-year-old is currently club-less at the moment at his contract with Barcelona expired at the end of last month.

Although not much has been said about his renewal at the Argentine's extension at Camp Nou, Manchester City and Paris Saint Germain are waiting to land him for free.
