Bad source. And Barca surely don't have money for a transfer like this with all that's going on there. I do remember thinking Messi would like to have him at Barca when watching Copa America games, those two have an excellent link up. Argentina were great in nearly every first half of the tournament until the general energy level dropped and Gio went off for a more defensive player. He has great quality but given his injuries and our requirements it'd be hard to turn down 35m.
About as much chance as Messi coming given Barca seem to be ‘’doing a Leeds’’.
