Sources: Atletico Madrid and Tottenham make offers for Leo Messi

Lionel Messi’s move to Paris-Saint Germain is an open secret at this point, and while it may disappoint a lot of Barcelona fans, it is the new reality and will remain for a few years. That being said, Messi did admit in his press conference that he had offers from several teams across Europe.

Two of those teams, according to a report from ESPN Argentina, as relayed by Juan Arango, are Atletico Madrid and Tottenham Hotspur. Both clubs have made offers to Leo in an attempt to woo him away from Paris.

Diego Simeone, late in July, mentioned that the team is looking for a forward, and while Antoine Griezmann is one of the names on the list, they have other options. Could one of them have been Messi?

They already have Luis Suarez in their team, and that could be a huge factor to influence Messi. Moreover, the comfort of staying in Spain could be attractive for his family. The big question is how will they pay his salary?

As for Spurs, they certainly have money in the bank to pay for Messi’s wages, but it would be a humongous step down in his career. Moreover, his playing style would clash too much with Harry Kane, who has developed a reputation as more than a striker.

Recent reports have claimed that Messi’s move to PSG is inevitable, but not as near as one might think. Could someone like Manchester City or United make one final dip for Leo’s signature?
