Inter Milan’s Guiseppe Marotta has described rumors linking Barcelona captain Lionel Messi with a move to the San Siro as ‘fantasy football.’
It’s been reported in Italy this week that Messi’s father Jorge is buying a house in Milan, predictably sending the rumor mill into overdrive.
Marotta was asked about the speculation on Saturday night and wasn’t having any of it.
“We are talking about fantasy football. He is definitely not one of our objectives and we believe that he is only interested in staying with Barcelona.”
Inter and Barcelona could still do business this summer.
