Miami "Inter" team forward Lionel Messi received an unexpected offer.

According to Turkish media, the 38-year-old world champion is being lured to join a club in this country’s league.

L. Messi dreams of acquiring Istanbul "Galatasaray" team.

According to journalist Levent Tuzemen, L. Messi categorically does not rule out such a possibility, but sets special conditions, for example, demanding permission not to play in away matches of the Turkish league.

Earlier, "Galatasaray" president Dursun Ozbek had spoken about his desire to bring in L. Messi:

"You can't live without a dream, can you? Will we see Lionel in Istanbul one day?

We have to overcome very high barriers, but our financial situation allows us to compete for the forward's signature without major problems."

The player transfer window in Turkey will close on February 6.
