ITALIAN JOB
Lionel Messi
‘to be offered four-year deal worth a staggering £235m’ by Inter Milan as they
eye free transfer
INTER MILAN are reportedly
ready to offer Lionel Messi a staggering £235 MILLION to join them.
The Barcelona star
is yet to agree a new deal with the Catalan club, and will be a free agent next
summer.
There have been murmurings all season
that he has become increasingly frustrated with how things are going at the Nou
Camp.
Barca
finished five points behind bitter rivals Real Madrid at
the top of La Liga this season.
There are
now reports that boss Quique Setien
will be sacked if he doesn't win the Champions League.
But
losing Messi will send tremors through the world of football.
LOCK HORNS WITH RONALDO
According
to La
Gazzetta Dello Sport Inter Milan are ready to pay Messi
£60MILLION a season to join them and will offer him a four-year deal.
That
would see him lock horns with old rival Cristiano Ronaldo in Serie A, who is with
Juventus.
It would also see Messi overtake the Portuguese star as the league's top earner.
Just days ago Inter's owners
hinted at a summer move for Messi by using his picture to advertise a Serie A
game in China.
Both Inter and Chinese
streaming service PPTV are owned by the Suning group.
And they projected a
picture of Messi on Milan’s Duomo cathedral to advertise the Serie A game
between Inter and Napoli for their Far East audience.
