Even though it seems like Newcastle's planned takeover looks like it won't come to fruition, fans are still hoping to see Messi in the Newcastle black and white.
A very optimistic Newcastle fan on Twitter asked Saint-Maximin what he would do if Messi joined him at Newcastle, but demanded the #10 shirt he currently owns.
Always the joker rather than taking the message seriously, Saint-Maximin responded in a comedic tone saying that he will wake-up.
However, the deprecating humour by Saint-Maximin was quickly defended by the Newcastle faithful with him already being Newcastle's most popular player by a landslide.
