Lionel Messi first agent Horacio Gaggioli claims that Real Madrid pushed to sign the attacker before he turned 18 years old but the Argentine turned them down.
Real Madrid was interested when Messi was young he was 16-17 years old but Leo never wanted to leave Barcelona Gaggioli said.
Arsenal showed interest in including Messi in his early years but the response was the same the agent adds.
Messi went on to achieve success at Barcelona but Real Madrid did just fine without him. Los Blancos have won six Champions League titles since plus multiple La Liga with Super Cups and Club World Cup titles.
Plus they signed Cristiano Ronaldo who went toe-to-toe with Messi for many years.
