Chelsea Interested In Signing Argentine Superstar Claim

|

Back in the summer, the biggest piece of transfer tittle-tattle that emerged related to the possibility of Lionel Messi leaving Barcelona.

The speculation intensified when the talented Argentinian officially told the Catalan giants that he wished to leave.

In the hullabaloo that followed, Messi eventually agreed to remain at the Nou Camp.

But with his current deal set to expire this summer and with no sign of pen being put-to-paper on a new deal, speculation is rife that there will, come the summer, be a parting of the ways.

Now, regular followers of the sports media will acknowledge that Manchester City is being touted as the possible next destination for Messi.

But could Messi be heading elsewhere?

The reason I ask is that several media sources, including Sports Illustrated have picked up on comments from the Spanish football expert, Guillem Balague, that infers the 33-year-old could be heading to Stamford Bridge, comments that read:

“Chelsea, definitely in the equation if Messi becomes available.

“All that is true.”

With there being no transfer fee involved, the deal becomes all about a signing-on fee and a salary.

But that could be balanced out by another revenue sales, namely merchandise.

Besides, after living in such a wonderful city as Barcelona surely London would be more preferable to its grim up north Manchester!

Can I see it happening?

Well, stranger things have happened in this wonderful sport of ours!

Please feel free to have your say on what is an intriguing proposition in the comment facility beneath this article.

Can You See Lionel Messi Ending Up At Chelsea?
