The latest scoop is that Italian giants Inter Milan are reportedly seriously plotting to sign Lionel Messi, according to an Argentine journalist.
Messi’s future at Paris Saint-Germain is still largely unsettled with his current contract with the club expiring at the end of the season and understandably a number of clubs have shown keen interest in signing him, not least among which are MLS side Inter Miami, Saudi Arabian side Al-Hilal and his former club Barcelona who have recently claimed that they are only too eager to welcome him back with open arms.
Interestingly, the latest rumors have emerged that Serie A giants Inter Milan have joined in the hot race to sign him with Argentine journalist Sergio Gonzalez claiming on Twitter that Inter Milan are interested in signing Messi, citing former Inter Milan player and current vice president Javier Zanetti as a potential factor in the move. He also added that the contract talks with PSG have supposedly stalled.
He tweeted: “Early morning bomb in Messi code. A reliable source tells me that Inter Italy intends to sign Leo. The Zanetti factor. The deadlock of its extension in Paris. Barça conditioned by the FPF and drowned by Thebes. Will Pupi [Zanetti] manage to get him?”
