Kumbe Abramovich na MOU walikuwa wamlete Messi darajani kwa siri mwaka 2014
Messi once "secretly" agreed to join Chelsea for £208million back in 2014, but the move fell through after his dad and agent Jorge Messi found out about these informal talks.
Sky Sports' Gianluca Di Marzio disclosed that Roman Abramovich and co. agreed to give Messi an annual wage of $65 million (£46.7million) plus 70% of image rights, with the Argentine keen on the deal.
However, it crashed and burned after Messi's father was made aware of the plans by an intermediary who was angry he was squeezed out of the negotiations.
Jose Mourinho started his second stint at Stamford Bridge when these proposed talks occurred in private.
