“We are talking about fantasy football, a situation that Inter Milan cannot achieve for various reasons,” Conte said as reported by France 24.

“I don’t think there is anyone in the world who does not want Lionel Messi. However, he is really far from what we are building,” added the former Chelsea tactician.

“Messi is not our goal and I don’t think he wants to leave Barceloa,” Marotta stated.
