DBasia.news – Inter Milan CEO, Beppe Marotta gives an explanation related to the move of Lionel Messi from Barcelona. According to him, the transfer could not be realized this summer.
In recent days, rumors of Messi’s move has re-emerged. It was not separated from the decision of the megastar’s father who purchased a house in Milan.
Inter’s owner, Suning Group, is said to be trying to realize this transfer. They are reportedly ready to spend to purchase Messi in cash.
But Marotta actually chose to be realistic. For him, seeing Messi with Inter next season will still be a delusion.
“We are talking about icons, great players, figures that all clubs want. It’s amazing to see champions like Messi at Inter but that is just fantasy football,” Marotta told Sky Sport Italia.
Seeing Messi defending clubs other than Barcelona does seem impossible. La Pulga is very loyal as he has defended the Blaugrana from an early age.
Even so, Marotta did not fully surrender. He said the role of club owners would be very important to make this transfer a reality.
“No Italian team is capable of carrying out such an operation unless an extraordinary factor arises from the shareholders and the real owner,” he added.
Indirectly, Marotta had asked Suning Group to get active in obtaining Messi. The Chinese consortium must prepare large funds and at the same time find ways to avoid the regulation of Financial Fair Play.
One other factor that can realize this transfer is Messi himself. Moreover, his relationship with club officials has not been harmonious.
Messi and Barcelona have only one year left. Until now, there are no signs that he will extend his service period.
