Dr Kofi Amoah, respected Ghanaian businessman has implored Argentine football legend, Lionel Messi, to consider playing in Africa.
The six-time Ballon d'Or winner is desperate to leave the La Liga giants after submitting a transfer request.
In his view, Messi’s arrival on the continent will do his reputation a lot of good as many of the player’s fans are on this continent.
A decision that was taken after Barcelona lost 8-2 to Bayern Munich in the UEFA Champions League quarter-final.
