Lionel Messi is a shock target for Inter Milan with the Italians planning to lure the Argentinian to Serie A and reignite his rivalry with Cristiano Ronaldo, who is now at Juventus.
The Barcelona superstar’s nine-year rivalry in La Liga with his Portuguese foe came to an end this summer with Ronaldo’s £88m move to Turin.
But just weeks after leaving Real Madrid, talk has already begun over the pair resuming their battle for greatness in Serie A, with Inter Milan plotting an audacious move.
The rumour comes from Marco Tronchetti Provera, the CEO of Pirelli and long-time sponsors of the Nerazzurri, who is splashed across the front page of Tuttosport claiming the club’s owners Suning could launch a monster bid for Messi.
“I hope that Suning, once Financial Fair Play will allow it, can make a huge signing,” said Tronchetti Provera.
“Messi? How can you say no to Messi?”
It presents an interesting dynamic, a second chapter to the historic rivalry, with two of the greatest of their generation potentially pitted against one another in the final years of their careers.
Inter, with Champions League football again, could be in a position to make a Messi-size move by next summer.
