„Barcelona“ team president Joan Laporta is determined to try to make a deal that previously seemed impossible. According to AS, the club's leader is nurturing a dream of seeing Lionel Messi playing alongside eternal rival Cristiano Ronaldo in the team's attacking line next season. According to the media, the main problem in implementing this deal is financial. In order to pay the Portuguese a huge salary, „Barca“ would have to say goodbye to other players. It is said that Turin's „Juventus“ would receive an offer as compensation for their striker to receive at least two players, such as Philippe Coutinho, Antoine Griezmann or Sergi Roberto. However, the Catalans have not yet contacted C. Ronaldo's agent Jorge Mendes and do not know if the player would even want to play for their club.
