According to reports, Leo Messi has announced that he wants to leave Barcelona, and it’s causing shockwaves through the sporting world.
In the attacker’s home country of Argentina, the press are naming an exhaustive catalogue of places he could end up.
Popular outlet Ole don’t hold back with the speculation, and they are only pointing out the logic. Among their possible destinations they have Chelsea, noting that the Blues are spending big this window, and have an owner who can afford anything he likes, if it comes down to it.
We’ve heard a few Messi rumours over the years connecting the greatest player of all time with Chelsea, and we’ve never believed them before. It still seems likely that this ends up with departures upstairs at Barcelona before it leads to the legend departing.
But however it shakes up, there’s no denying this is by some distance the closest the star has been to choosing a new club, and Chelsea are at the very least in the hat.
