Would Messi be welcome to the Bridge after Balague makes Chelsea transfer claim?
Chelsea are ‘in the equation’ for a shock Lionel Messi transfer, but would he be a good signing for the club at this stage of his career?
Messi hit the headlines for all the wrong reasons in the summer after it was revealed they he had handed in a transfer request to leave the club after the Spaniards failed to pick up any silverware by the end of the season.
However, despite all the talks that he was leaving the club, ultimately he opened up and revealed that he would see out his current deal which ends in 2021 as he did not want to take Barcelona through the courts in order to get a move away from the club.
But there is still talk that he will leave Barcelona at the end of the season, with the Premier League his preferred destination, and we are one of only a few clubs that would be able to pay his massive £600,000-a-week contract.
According to Spanish football expect Guillem Balague, the club could be among the clubs to chase Messi’s signature, Speaking on his YouTube channel, Balague said: “Chelsea are definitely in the equation if Messi becomes available. That is true.
Chelsea will insist they want to hear everything that is going on.
“If they have the money they will want to be involved too. Remember, there is no transfer fee.”
Look, Messi a great of the game, one of the best of all time and a player that we have wanted at the club for many seasons now, but at the end of the day, he is now 33-years of age
