Lionel Messi could play with Cristiano Ronaldo after Juventus got close to the Barcelona star

Lionel Messi at Juventus … it couldn’t have happened, right?

Well, it seems like every European club with little money in their bank account is exploring the possibility of signing Messi this summer and you can hardly blame them, let’s face it.

Considering that the six-time Ballon d’Or winner has literally spent his entire club career at Camp Nou, the possibility of him leaving after 16 years is literally a once in a lifetime opportunity.

Club chasing Messi

And with the news that Messi faxed his transfer request on Tuesday coming a bit out of the blue, there’s good reason to think the Argentine hasn’t made up his mind yet.

That said, many reports indicate that Manchester City are the favorite for his signing with Messi perhaps seduced by the idea of ​​a reunion with Pep Guardiola.

But would the idea of ​​teaming up with Cristiano Ronaldo prove to be even more of an attraction? If nothing else, it would drag the entire sporting world to the edge of their seats.

Messi to Juventus ???

It’s astounding to think that Ronaldo and Messi have never shared a locker room before, not even in a charity match, so the prospect of them playing for the same club is fairytale.

Though City will envision their chances of making sure that never happens, thousands of football fans around the world will keep their fingers crossed for Juventus to perform a miracle.

And thanks to them because, according to the French newspaper L’Equipe, the Italian champions were among the clubs to present an investigation into Messi’s next move. Uh huh, seriously.

Juventus wants to form a ‘super team’

According to a translation by Football Italia, Juventus are said to be “in the running” to sign Messi because they want to create a “super team” with Ronaldo at the Allianz Stadium.

Juventus is alleged to have made a “discreet approach” to Messi’s father and agent Jorge, who is said to have recently purchased a luxury apartment in Milan.

Having Ronaldo and Messi on the same paycheck would be a worrying prospect for Juventus in these uncertain times, but the commercial returns of having both players could be profitable.

Ronaldo wants Messi in Italy

And we must not forget that Ronaldo actually encouraged Messi to come to Italy earlier, although not necessarily to his own team, during a 2018 interview with Gazzetta dello Sport.

According to the Independent, Ronaldo commented: “Maybe I miss Messi. I played in England, Spain, Italy, Portugal and for my national team while he is still in Spain.

“Maybe he needs me more … For me life is a challenge, I like it and I like to make people happy. I wish he would come to Italy one day. I hope he accepts the challenge like me, but if he is happy there I respect him. “

It should be noted, however, that the Equipe had reported a few hours earlier on this news that Jorge Messi had informed PSG of his son’s willingness to sign for City in the coming weeks.
