Unlikely Leeds United transfer
It is hard to see Messi leave Barcelona for Leeds in the summer transfer window despite the presence of his Argentine compatriot Marcelo Bielsa at Elland Road.
True, Leeds are a massive club and are back in the Premier League for the first time in 16 years, but the Whites will not be able to come up with the wages of the Argentina international or pay the huge transfer fee that Barca would demand.
