Lionel MessiIt’s been suggested by the Daily Star that Lionel Messi is keen on a move to the Premier League, and Arsenal are one of the clubs he is interested in joining.

No doubt this ‘report’ will have the Emirates faithful excited and praying that this rumour turns out to be a credible move, but think again.

According to the report, Messi, 28, is considering leaving Barcelona due to the difficulties he has faced with the Spanish tax authorities and is eyeing up a move to England.

Manchester United, City and Chelsea are among other clubs being touted as possible destinations.

However, this is where it becomes totally ridiculous and thinking to yourself ‘no chance this move will EVER happen’. The Argentine has a buyout clause of over £175 million and would want wages of up to £600k-a-week!!! That’s like paying for four Mesut Ozil’s or five Alexis Sanchez’s, and the wages proposed are simply astronomical and anyone willing to pay this to sign Messi are either mega rich or mega stupid.

The arrival of Messi to Arsenal would be unbelievable but why reports have suggested that the Emirates would be a possible destination for the Argentina and Barcelona star is completely bonkers!

And if this ever does happen, I’ll eat my hat!
