SYDNEY - Footballing minnows Adelaide United issued a long-shot bid to entice superstar Lionel Messi to join its ranks on Wednesday , touting the remote South Australian city as a coronavirus safe haven for playing and raising his family.

He also noted South Australia's success in containing the coronavirus pandemic which is still ravaging much of Europe, saying the state would be"safe for your young family". "Indeed, as a consumer of Penfolds Grange, one of the world's finest wines, we will find you a house in the suburb of Magill - It's just a free-kick away from Penfolds' award-winning Magill Estate restaurant, where you will have a regular table at your disposal," he said.

The move is expected to spark a legal battle over a buy-out clause worth hundreds of millions of dollars.
