Messi's contract with football club Barcelona has expired and is currently free to sign any new contract.
One such reaction was a Twitter user asking Indian Premier League (IPL) franchise Rajasthan Royals if they are planning to sign the ace footballer considering he is not bound by any contract right now. “Planning to sign Messi? Coz he is a free agent now,” the user wrote.

The Rajasthan-based franchise apparently took the fan’s request seriously and ended up sharing a screenshot of their Instagram DM with the Argentine footballer where they tried to contact Messi. “ Koshish jaari hai (making continuous efforts for this),” they wrote as the caption.
Here’s the Tweet from Rajasthan Royals:

As expected, the tweet went viral and received a lot of replies and all kinds of reactions from people. While some people shared GIFs, other opted for memes to express their reactions.
Here are some of the responses Rajasthan Royals received:
