The story that connects Lionel Messi with River added a new chapter in recent hours, told by the protagonist himself. In an interview with Luzu TV, the current Inter Miami player revealed unpublished details about the trial he underwent in Núñez and the reasons that prevented him from continuing his career at the club before emigrating to Barcelona.
According to what number 10 recounted, the chance to wear the red sash was closer than many imagined. "I went to River on my own. I did a trial, I stayed training. After 10 days I went back and River told me it wanted me to stay, that it would take care of the treatment," the Rosario native explained, in reference to the hormone treatment he needed to strengthen his growth.
El Millonario's intention was clear: to sign him and lodge him in the club's residence. However, the problem arose at the moment of processing the transfer. "I would have stayed in the residence. But they told me that regarding the transfer they couldn't do anything, that I had to go to Newell's myself to ask for it. Meanwhile, when I went, obviously they didn't give it to me. Everything was cut off there," he recalled.
