BIGGEST TRANSFER RUMOUR: CHELSEA BIT £118M ON MESSI

It has been revealed that Chelsea made an
£118milllion bid for Barcelona superstar Lionel
Messi.

Messi could have signed for Chelsea in the
summer after adidas offered to pay half of his
£210million buy-out clause, according to
Barcelona sports paper Mundo Deportivo.

The Blues were linked with Messi on the past and
reports in Spain suggest the giant offer went in
weeks ago to try and lure the player to Stamford
Bridge.

 It’s not clear whether Barca rejected the
offer or simply refused to reply, but Chelsea were
hopeful of doing business.
