World's famous football player Lionel Messi’s contract with football club Barcelona has expired and as of now Messi is free to sign any new contract. Thus, after his contract’s expiry, social media has been flooded with a variety of reactions.

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.
