Italy dreaming of Barça's Leo Messi as Juventus and Inter Milan linked
'Tuttosport' has speculated about where Messi could end up if he moved to Serie A
FC Barcelona forward Lionel Messi's future has become a big issue in the international press. The latest media to look into what the Argentine international would do if he were to leave the Catalans at the end of the season is the Italian newspaper Tuttosport. In Tuesday's edition, they have led with the title "Inter and Juve's dream" and include a montage of Messi wearing the Italian giants' shirts.
The cited newspaper leans on comments made by Ariedo Braida, the former Barcelona advisor, on Rai Radio 1. Braida left the door open to Messi leaving Camp Nou and even suggested that he could play alongside Cristiano Ronaldo at Juve. Serie A leaders Inter are the other side in Italy who would be keen.
TRICKY OPERATION
"Messi is an extraordinary player," Braida said. "I think he's happy in Barcelona, living with his family. He's been there since he was 13, so it's hard to imagine him leaving, but not impossible. They [Messi and Ronaldo] are such great players that a good coach could make it work. Messi and Cristiano could play together.
"As a Milan fan, I would prefer to see him at AC Milan, but Juve and Inter are the two teams that could sign him."
