It seems now that Barcelona forward Lionel Messi is seriously considering a move to England in the near future that he has even started learning English, according to Guillem Balague. The 28-year-old Argentine international has spent his entire career with La Liga giants Barcelona, but now is thinking of pursuing a new challenge.
The world-class forward has broken almost every scoring record at the Nou Camp and has won every single trophy that Spanish football can possibly offer, along with four Ballon d’Or titles as well. Three Premier League giants Chelsea, Manchester United and Manchester City do have the ability to match his €250m release clause, though, which club he might consider joining is still not known.
After a quiet word with his close friends Cesc Fabregas and Sergio Aguero, the idea of playing in England could work out it seems now. Further, Balague told talkSPORT, “He’s never been closer to leaving Barcelona, he is thinking about it. He has heard from Sergio Aguero and Cesc Fabregas how wonderful England and the Premier League is. There’s an attraction there for a new challenge. He’s maturing, he wants to imagine himself in England and he watches the Premier League. He’s learning English in case he needs it. He is preparing for that possibility.”
