According to the Sun, Lionel Messi is in talks with Chelsea after the verdict on his tax fraud case as his family feel victimized by Spanish authorities.
Despite Messi's dedication to his country and team, he and his dad were ordered to pay approximately £3million in fines for their tax offences.
The Stamford Bridge club were alerted to the possibility that Messi could leave Barca over the tax case and the club's failure to offer a new contract. Negotiations were initiated on the basis that if the 29-year-old decided he'd had enough then Chelsea would be in pole position to capitalise.
According to The Sun, Chelsea are ready to offer Barcelona around £110 million for the 29-year-old and will better the forward’s current deal with the Spanish champions, which currently stands at £600,000 a week.
However, Manchester City have also registered their interest with £800,000-a-week offer.
