Inter are confident that they can sign Barcelona star Lionel Messi due to their strong economic position, according to a report from Italian media outlet Calciomercato.com earlier today.
The report details how the Blaugrana are currently in a period of crisis, evident with their shock 8-2 defeat to Bayern Munich in the Champions League earlier this week. Messi’s contract expires at the end of next season and the Argentine star is considering his future, which the Suning group are hoping will be in Milan.
Inter are in a strong financial position, the report continues, and they would be able to sign Messi without creating any Financial Fair Play issues.
The club’s president, Steven Zhang, dreams of signing the 33-year-old star and has sent vice president Javier Zanetti to probe the situation. Messi will meet with the Blaugrana’s management tomorrow to discuss what changes will be undertaken at the club, starting with a new head coach.
