Last night the internet erupted!
News that Lionel Messi has told Barcelona that he wants to leave the club after being there since 2001 surfaced online, and people went nuts.
Also if Barcelona will insist to keep him and not considering his ‘free transfer clause’ as valid also right now because it was expired on June, Leo Messi will tell again to the board that he wants to leave the club. He wants to change. The battle is on. 🔴🇦🇷 #FCB #Messi #Barça

As expected, rumours immediately started regarding the 33-year old’s next potential club.
Chelsea were always going to get dropped into the links, and it was a matter of minutes before their name was mentioned.
Then straight away, Frank Lampard’s former West Ham and England team mate Rio Ferdinand decided to add his fuel to the fire backing Lampard to sign one of the best footballers to ever grace the sport.
“Just heard Frank Lampard is now in for Messi” said Rio on his tweet…

Of course, he is probably just trolling, but the saga is very entertaining all the same.
I expect this will become THE news of the moment now over the next few weeks as the whole world watches on to see where Messi ends up.
