Messi Dismisses Inter Milan Rumours

By Daily Sports on April 10, 2020

Barcelona forward Lionel Messi has denied reports linking him with a move to Italian side Inter Milan, branding a story suggesting the contrary a lie.

In a post made on his Instagram account on Thursday, he also said that a story suggesting he posted former teammate Ronaldinho’s $1.6 million bail this week is made up.

Messi attempted to put an end to the recent rumours he might leave Barcelona by posting a screengrab of a story saying he could move to Inter “the first lie”.

In the same image, he branded a report saying he was behind Ronaldinho's bail, which was posted in Paraguay this week, “the second lie”.

Messi’s future has been the subject of plenty of speculation since it was revealed last year that he could potentially leave Barca for free this summer, despite the fact his contract runs until 2021.

Sources have told ESPN that Manchester City are monitoring his situation and this week former Inter president Massimo Moratti said that signing the six-time Ballon d’Or-winner was no longer a “forbidden dream”.

La Liga chief Javier Tebas heavily criticised Serie A’s finances – saying even Messi couldn’t help fix the league’s woes – following talk Inter could be a realistic destination for Messi, but the rumours have persisted.

Meanwhile, ex-Brazil star Ronaldinho, who Messi played with at the Camp Nou, was granted house arrest on Tuesday following 32 days in prison for attempting to enter the country with falsified passports.

It’s the third time this year Messi has used social media to send a message.

In February, he engaged in a war of words with Barcelona’s sporting director Eric Abidal when the Frenchman suggested in an interview that the players were responsible for former coach Ernesto Valverde’s sacking.

Then last week in a statement eventually released by all the players, he criticised members of the Barca board for leaks claiming the players were reluctant to play their part by taking a wage cut to help the club alleviate the financial effects of the coronavirus pandemic. (ESPN)
