Reports: Messi Ready To Agree Chelsea Switch
According to reports, Lionel Messi is ready to agree a move to Chelsea after becoming frustrated with circumstances at Barcelona.
åÊ
The Argentine has been heavily linked with making a switch to the Premier League, with millionaires Chelsea and Manchester City said to be hot on his heels.
åÊ
The speculation follows from sources indicating Messi wants a fresh challenge, which would end his illustrious Barca career that began as a youth player back in 2000.
åÊ
And Chelsea, who the 27-year-old has never scored against in the Champions League, are willing to pay his å£200million release clause, the Metro believes.
åÊ
French champions Paris Saint-Germain are also believed to be interested, and have the finances to secure a deal with backing from their Arab owners, although Chelsea are the favourites after nearly a fortnight of strong rumours implying their intent on bringing the four-time Ballon d’Or winner to England.
åÊ
A source even claims: “Leo’s minded to leave Barca.
åÊ
“He is completely fed up with so many things at the club that it is difficult to see a way forward.”
