HOT FOOTBALL TRANSFER GOSSIP: Lionel Messi open to Premier League move

Who does Messi want to join, which Strikers are Real Madrid after, will Ronaldo stay at the Bernabeu and will Dembele may be on the move? Some of these questions are answered. Sort of.

​Barcelona forward Lionel Messi would reportedly prefer a move to London over Manchester if he were ever to leave Camp Nou for the Premier League, but will demand a reported £600,000-a-week to make the transfer. According to the ​Star, the four-time Ballon d'Or winner would prefer to move to Arsenal over either Manchester United or Manchester City if the Barcelona exit ever did come about. While Chelsea would also be interested if he were to become available, the Argentinian superstar would...


Seemingly not content with winning countless trophies and playing in the most successful club team of the modern era, the Daily Star report Lionel Messi is open to leaving Barcelona for a move to the Premier League. He is seemingly dreaming of an annual title push, which falls apart due to injures and a lack of defensive midfield players, so he naturally thought of Arsenal. The Gunners are apparently his ‘preferred destination, but the 28-year-old forward wants £600,000-a-week.

Spanish gossip mongers in-chief Marca report this morning that Bayern Munich striker Robert Lewandowski's agent is claiming Real Madrid are interested in signing the 27-year-old Poland international. We strongly suspect the in-form hit man may be angling for a new contract in the next few months.

We all dream about knowing what is going on in

Cristiano Ronaldo’s brain. His new film gave us a tantalising peak into his nether world, but in terms of actual football, it was a touch thin on the ground. Thankfully the Daily Mail have ‘sources close to Ronaldo’ who report that CR7 could be playing in his final home El Clasico against Barcelona on Saturday. The Sun seems to be having a chin-wag with the same insiders who have kindly spread the news around, telling them that Ronnie will be up for grabs for a cool £80m. Form an orderly queue PSG, Manchester United etc.

Chelsea are ready to end striker Radamel Falcao's loan deal from Monaco and Spanish club Valencia are keen on signing the 29-year-old says the Mirror. We do wonder if they have seen him play since he injured is knee 2014. Maybe ‘don’t sign Falcao’ can he today’s Spanish lesson for Valencia’s coach Phil Neville.

Fulham striker Moussa Dembele (not him, it’s a different one), 19, says it is "flattering" to be linked with a move to the Premier League but he is concentrating on getting the Cottagers promoted into the top flight say the Express. Lets see if he feels the same when the might of Aston Villa and Newcastle come calling in January.

Juventus striker Alvaro Morata has been linked with a move back to Real Madrid, in a move that would surprise no-one, but the 23-year-old insists he has no intention of moving from the Serie A side. We believe you Alvaro. Honestly, we do.

Partick Thistle last night said they will support their 25-year-old striker Mathias Pogba, brother of France and Juventus player Paul, after he was caught up in the Paris terror attacks reports the Daily record while in more mundane news, West Brom defender James Chester admits he fears he will not be selected by Wales for Euro 2016 because he is not playing regularly for his club.
