BetWarrior and Betmotion are providing a betting market for the European football transfer window. Undoubtedly, the fact that draws the most attention on the eve of the 2020/2021 season is the departure of Lionel Messi from Barcelona.
The 33 years old Argentine striker has been in Barcelona's professional squad since 2004. He has passed through the club's youth ranks and has never worn another shirt. After the vexing elimination for Bayern Munich in the UEFA Champions League, the Catalan team went into crisis and “Leo” asked to be transferred.
The betting market on the BetWarrior website shows Barcelona still as the favorite to be the Argentine team on October 16, with odds 1.90, while Betmotion has odds of 1.60 for the same option.
The explanation for this may be the whole story that Messi has built up in the team, and how unimaginable it is to represent another team, however much it seems to be closer than ever.
Manchester City, with former Barcelona coach Pep Guardiola, comes in second with odds 2.25 at BetWarrior and 2.20 at Betmotion. Under Guardiola, Messi experienced his career peak and won most of his titles with the Catalunya team.
As the transfer market, like football itself, is a box of surprises, other teams appear with higher odds and offering beautiful chances of return. If the bettor thinks Messi's next destination will be Inter Milan, he will win R$ 5 for every R$ 1 wagered on BetWarrior and R$ 8.5 on Betmotion.
Other giants of European football still appear as possible competitors in BetWarrior and Betmotion platforms. France’s Paris Saint-Germain has odds 15.00 (BetWarrior) and 9 (Betmotion).
