Sensational rumors are coming from the Island.
English outlet Talksport reports that Chelsea have joined the race to sign Lionel Messi. The Argentine will leave Paris as a free agent in a month’s time, and it has been rumored for some time that he could continue his career in Barcelona, from which he joined PSG two years ago.
In addition to Barcelona, there has long been talk of interest from Saudi Al-Hilal, who are ready to give Messi an astronomical contract. The contract, which no one in the world currently has, is said to earn between 300 and 500 million euros per year, depending on what kind of contract he would sign and for how many years.
The English now claim that Todd Boehly, the American owner of Chelsea, wants to spoil the plans of Barcelona and the rich Saudis. It’s a season to forget for Chelsea, they invested a lot, but finished far from the places that lead to Europe. Talksport add that Boehly believes Messi is exactly what Chelsea need to make things fall into place.
