DBasia.news – Massimo Moratti, former president of Inter Milan, thinks that his former team is able to bring Lionel Messi from Barcelona. He considered that Messi’s performance declined following the corona outbreak.
“I don’t think signing Messi is a forbidden dream. Maybe it was not a forbidden dream before the corona virus lockdown, “Moratti told Radio Rai.
Messi’s contract at Barcelona will expire in 2021. The Argentine superstar has repeatedly said that he intends to remain at Camp Nou until retirement. However, speculation regarding the player’s future is rife as his relationship has been less harmonious with the club’s management.
Many believe that the corona virus pandemic will affect the price of players in the future. Moratti said, Inter Milan could have brought Messi to Giuseppe Meazza.
“He is at the end of his contract. “I don’t know if this situation will change anything, but I think we will see strange things at the end of the year,” he added.
There is speculation that Inter Milan are ready to give Lautaro Martinez to Barcelona in order to smooth Messi’s transfer.
“Lautaro is a great player, he cares about his career, but as I said before, we have to see if he is part of a transfer for a bigger player like Messi,” concluded Moratti.
Since his debut 16 years ago, the player has recorded 627 goals scored with Barcelona. The amount was inscribed in 718 appearances in all competitions.
