Lionel Messi could have started his football career
with Barcelona’s fierce rivals, Real Madrid, it has
been revealed.
The agent that took him to the Camp Nou when he was
13, Horacio Gaggioli, says Messi would have been a
Madrid player if he had moved to the Spanish capital
instead.
“Due to life circumstances, I went to live in Barcelona
and I brought him to Barca for a trial. But I was about to
live in Madrid,” Gaggioli told Globoesporte .
“If that had happened, I would have taken him to
Madrid for a trial. That’s life, those are the details.
“Today, Messi could have been a Real Madrid player, of
course. The family wanted to come to Spain, to the city
where I was to have some support.”
