Unbelievable! Messi signs for Strasbourg
As surprising as it may seem, RC Strasbourg has succeeded in the feat of recruiting Messi.

Messi will wear the colors of Strasbourg next season! But, and let the faithful of La Meinau rest easy, it is not Lionel. It is a certain Rayan Messi who will play with the Alsatian team next season.

While La Pulga costs around a hundred million euros, his namesake was transferred for the modest sum of 1 million euros (bonuses included). There will also be 10% of the capital gain. It is Dijon FCO, the training club, which receives this amount.

Keller convinced Messi

For Strasbourg, it is still a great acquisition. The proof is that Olympique de Marseille was also in the running to enlist this young hopeful. Marc Keller, the Strasbourg president, was therefore able to be more persuasive.

In addition to Messi, Strasbourg have already signed three other players since the start of the summer transfer window. Oscar Perea arrived from Atlético Nacional, Guela Doué was snapped up from Rennes and Andrey Santos was loaned by Chelsea.
