Inter, Milan and Roma are on red alert after Leo Messi's father confessed “My son dreams of Serie A.”
The Barcelona starlet had always been considered untouchable, but could be allowed to move on this summer as part of the club's revolution.
“For the moment we are thinking of Barcelona, which is a second home for Leo, and he wants to make up for all his injury problems,” Jorge Messi told Sportal.
“Having said that, clearly playing in Italy is the dream of every player, including my son.
“Seeing as nobody knows what will happen in the future, let us just say it is possible that sooner or later that dream can come true.”
The 21-year-old Argentine has long been a target for Inter chief Massimo Moratti, but up until now he was considered beyond all reach.
“Let's just say there has been no official contact with Inter,” continued Messi Sr.
“Nothing official. I prefer not to add anything else to that statement. As I said before, things could change in the future.”
As the Nerazzurri run into problems to sign Jose Mourinho's targets Ricardo Quaresma and Frank Lampard, they could make a definite change of direction for Messi.
President Moratti has always said Messi is his dream signing and at long last that could become reality.

Surely this is a load of rubbish?
