Lionel Messi Hints Manchester United Transfer?
Latest reports suggest that Barcelona forward Lionel Messi is seriously considering a move to England in the near future that he has even started learning English. The World’s best player has spent his entire career with La Liga giants Barcelona, but now is thinking about a fresh challenge in a foreign land.
Three Premier League giants Chelsea, Manchester United and Manchester City do have the ability to match his €250m release clause, though, United are believed to be the favorites to sign the Super Argentine as they are desperate to win trophies again.
Transfer analyst Balague told talkSPORT, “He’s never been closer to leaving Barcelona, he is thinking about it. He has heard from Sergio Aguero and Cesc Fabregas how wonderful England and the Premier League is. There’s an attraction there for a new challenge. He’s maturing, he wants to imagine himself in England and he watches the Premier League. He’s learning English in case he needs it. He is preparing for that possibility.”
