Juventus moves for Messi

Juventus have made contact with Lionel Messi’s camp, in a bid to try and lure him to Turin and form a stunning attacking duo with great rival Cristiano Ronaldo, according to L’Equipe.










The Turin giants will attempt to piece together a super-team centred around Messi and his historic challenger in the race to be named as the best player in the world, Cristiano Ronaldo.


Messi was left frustrated by a fall-out with club chiefs, their post-lockdown LaLiga capitulation and the 8-2 mauling at the hands of rampant Bayern Munich in the Champions League.










Messi and Ronaldo have battled for the coveted status as the world’s best footballer for more than a decade and played against each other in Spain’s El Clasicos.

Ronaldo left Real Madrid to Italy two summers ago and now the Serie A champions want Messi to join him.


It is claimed Juve have made a ‘discreet approach’ to Messi’s father to explore the possibility of a sensational switch.











Manchester City remain frontrunners in the race for Messi, who has informed Barcelona of his desire to leave this summer.


Inter Milan and Paris Saint-Germain are the other clubs monitoring the situation.
