Juventus Approaches Lionel Messi Over a Potential Move That Will See Him Partner With Cristiano Ronaldo
Juventus approaches Lionel Messi in a sensational bid to price the irked Barcelona star away from Camp Nou. According to reports, the move will see Lionel Messi partner his great rival, Cristiano Ronaldo, in an ambitious attack for the Serie A champions.
The Italian giants will attempt to build a super-team centered around Messi and his historical rival in the race to be named as the best player in the world, Cristiano Ronaldo.
According to L’Equipe, a ‘discreet approach’ was made to Messi’s father, Jorge, to seek the possibility of tempting the 33-year-old to Turin.
Meanwhile, Lionel Messi remains in an unpleasant stand-off with the club he has turned up for since childhood. Now he has asked his representatives for a crunch meeting with the Barcelona board in a bid to ‘avoid a war’ breaking out over his uncertain future.
Moreover, the meeting is set to be the first time both parties are coming together since Messi broke the shocking news to the word when he informed Barcelona of his desire to leave on a free transfer.
However, those at Camp Nou are yet to budge from their keen refusal to accept the prospect of their talisman walking away for free.
