Despite Showing His Support to Lionel Messi, LIV Golfer Sergio Garcia Left Betrayed As Huge Rumors Arise

Lionel Messi is among the most famous and talented sports stars of all time. The rare talent he possesses and the fan following he has is hard to find these days. However, Messi himself is reported to be a fan of LIV Golf which is also a flourishing business at the moment that is gaining widespread attention.

And keeping that in mind, Messi is rumored to be making a big decision which could be a big disappointment for Sergio Garcia who is a die-hard fan of the soccer player. Let’s take a look at what the matter is.

Is Lionel Messi investing in LIV Golf?

For athletes, it is not a rare thing to love more than one sport. Having an interest in other sports besides their own is extremely common among players which is why many basketball champions love golf. Numerous golfers love soccer and so on. And for Sergio Garcia his adoration for Lionel Messi is immense. Just like the rest of the world, he adores Messi and his performance on the soccer field.

In fact, to openly express his love for the soccer star, Garcia bought soccer T-shirts for his four-member team, inspired by his love for Messi. The Spaniard even had Messi’s number 10 printed on his t-shirt. His family even helped him in preparing the outfit and the fans loved this gesture. But with the news that is surfacing about Messi’s move toward LIV Golf could be a bummer for Sergio, despite being a happy one.

As per the official page of LIV Golf Insider, Messi is in the final stage of talking about buying LIV’s team Torque GC. They reported, “World Renowned Soccer Mega-Star Lionel #Messi is in late-stage talks to purchase the South American #LIVGolf franchise #TorqueGC. An avid #LIVGolf fan, Messi says he plans to bring South American golf to the forefront of the sport.”

If it is true then this must be a big shocker to Garcia whose own team will get skipped over by his favorite soccer player. Around the time that the news of the shocking merger came to light in June earlier this year, another big news about Messi and Saudi also made headlines.

After turning down the Saudi Arab offer, what did Messi get?

Currently, Messi is playing for Inter Miami but before that he was approached by Saudi Arabia to play for them with a whopping $1.6 billion over the course of three years. But Messi turned down that offer and went ahead and signed to play in MLS for Inter Miami which already has English star David Beckham. As per his two-year contract, he will be earning a sum of $60 million per year which includes his salary, a stake in Inter Miami, and his signing bonus.

He has also signed specific deals with MLS’ closest partners, Apple and Adidas. After his earlier rejection, if this new association takes place, then it could be a big business deal for both sports. But a disappointment for Garcia.
