Video: Mason Greenwood nets an unbelievable goal as he keeps the goal keeper running for the ball

 

has been a wild 24 hours in Messi's inner circle since Barcelona announced they would part ways with the footballer, and while all eyes point to PSG and Manchester City, a third club could end up swooping the superstar to play in the Premier League.




According to a report by Spanish newspaper As states that Russian tycoon Roman Abramovich urged his team to have an "emergency meeting" where the main topic of discussion would be Messi's potential arrival to Stamford Bridge. The 2020-21 UEFA Champions League winners believe that they have the monetary muscle to try and lure the footballer to the English top-flight, even if they are trailing other teams, such as PSG, in the race to sign "La Pulga".



The Spanish newspaper suggests that Chelsea's owner has asked for a meeting with Messi's entourage to get to know first-hand what kind of contract he expects to sign. Abramovich's intention would be to take this matter into his own hands until Romelu Lukaku's signing is complete, and if that does not happen, then the Blues would go all in to hire the Argentine ace.



Abramovich is reportedly aware of Manchester City's slim chances of hiring Messi after spending over $100M on Jack Grealish's deal. Hence, the Russian businessman knows that he has the means to lure the player away from the French top-flight, but he must get to know the kind of deal he wants to sign.



As things stand, it seems that Chelsea's intention to sign Messi will not be successful, but the end of the transfer window is three weeks away and anything can happen in the race to hire the Argentine. Will he end up playing for a Premier League team such as Chelsea? We will have to wait and see.Chelsea considering late offer to sign Messi after 'urgent' meetingMatthijs de Ligt is considered as one of the best defenders in Europe and is also one of the most expensive ones, having joined Juventus for a fee of €85 million in 2019. Since then, the youngster has notched up 75 competitive appearances for the club, emerging as a rock at the back, particularly from his second season in Italy.



The Dutchman has indeed built a solid defensive partnership alongside Leonardo Bonucci. It was critical in helping the Bianconeri make a late push for the top four places, even though missing out on the Serie A title was quite disappointin

Lukaku can fire Chelsea to Premier League glory

  Romelu Lukaku will end Chelsea's wastefulness in front of goal and elevate Thomas Tuchel's side into Premier League title contenders. The Belgian has returned to Stamford Bridge in a club-record deal worth £97.5m.The signing of Romelu Lukaku will surely make that a reality. The Blues' record in cup competitions has been an impressive one of late, adding the European Super Cup to their collection this week. But to achieve success across a 38-game season entails different demands. To become league champions requires a relentless consistency, winning week in, week out. But while they've pulled off brilliant performances in one-off games, Chelsea's wastefulness in front of goal has meant they've been unable to match the standards set by Premier League winners Manchester City and Liverpool in recent seasons.
