Messi is likely to join Chelsea next summer – check out the details.

 A report by The Sun states that representatives of Barcelona star Lionel Messi have ‘put the feelers out’ to Chelsea and Manchester United over a possible transfer in the coming window.

The Sun is a British tabloid newspaper. As a broadsheet, it was founded in 1964 as a successor to the Daily Herald.

 Manchester City have also been contacted for Messi’s transfer. Any one among the three clubs who can pay him £500,000-a-week could seal the deal.

The Camp Nou Mafia is drawing an end to his impeccable campaign at Barcelona.

 Having won a record six Ballon d’Or awards, a record six European Golden Shoes. He has won a club-record 35 trophies including ten La Liga titles, seven Copa del Rey titles and four UEFA Champions Leagues. He holds the records for most goals in La Liga with 474 in 520 appearances, most hat-tricks in La Liga, 36, and 8 in the UEFA Champions League. He has also the most assists in La Liga,192, a La Liga and European league season, 21. He has scored over 750 senior career goals for club and country, and has the most goals ever by a player for a single club.

The report from Sun adds that Roman Abramovich has ‘long dreamed of signing Messi’.

But could the 33-year-old stay at the end of the season? Speaking recently about Messi leaving the Catalan club, manager Ronald Koeman said he was ‘not concerned’ about it.

“For me, he has to finish his career here because he has been here all his life, but it is a decision that Leo has to make. I am not concerned at all. What may happen at the end of the season we will see, but today I am not worried.”

Could Messi join Chelsea?

There is no doubt about Messi’s abilities even at the age of 33. He continues to be at the top of his game and it is undeniable that he will make Chelsea a threatening side going forward.

 Adding Messi to Chelsea’s formation next summer could mean a lot of things. The reason why we are much particular about his move to Stamford Bridge is after an underground checks that showed that Abramovich has showed a greater interest in the Agentine striker and is ready to bring him to London.
