The four-time world footballer of the year, Lionel Messi, has
reportedly indicated his willingness to leave the Catalan club, Barcelona,
where he has played for fourteen years.
Reports indicate that the
Argentine wants to have a feel of the English Premier League (EPL) where
Chelsea, Manchester United and Manchester City have all shown interest to land
the 28-tear-old player.
Also, it was reported that quite a number of Lionel Messi’s
friends have tried to woo the player to come to England.
Messi’s readiness to leave
Barca has also allegedly been boosted by the tax-mess he and his father are
currently having in Catalonia.
Messi and his father Jorge
are facing trial over an alleged tax fraud of £3.1m.
However, the Barcelona
player’s current contract with Barcelona will expire in June 2018 buy has a
buy-out-clause of €250million in it.
Messi is currently battling
with a knee-ligament injury which will keep him out of action for some time.
The player who has refused
to put a timescale on his return said: “I
am improving every day without setting myself any targets. I have always said
that I don’t set myself any dates because it isn’t up to me.
