Chelsea have been handed a huge boost in their nine-year mission to sign Lionel Messi. The 35-year-old forward faces an increasingly uncertain future at Paris Saint-Germain with his contract at Les Parc des Princes set to expire at the end of the season.
Messi was expected to sign a one-year extension with the Parisians but, after winning the World Cup with Argentina in December, it's said that he's had a change of heart. According to Spanish outlet Marca, the Argentine is no longer motivated to win more titles in France or the Champions League again after achieving his 'ultimate dream'.
He's now won every competition that he's participated in and, with nothing left to prove, he'll undoubtedly go down as one of the greatest players of all time. Messi's dramatic 180 has put several clubs on red alert; one whom is believed to be Inter Miami, the MLS outfit owned by David Beckham.
