Lionel Messi to Chelsea?

       If you know anything about soccer, then you have to know who Lionel Messi is. He is known by many people as the best, or one of the best, professional soccer players in the world. Lionel Messi is, in my opinion, the best striker in the world at this moment in time. Messi plays for one of the best clubs in the world, FC Barcelona. Recently, there has been some speculation that Leo will be transferring to the English club, Chelsea.

          Chelsea is a very successful, English club where many top class players have played. They play in the Barclays Premier League, and are currently tied for first place alongside Manchester City. The club is owned by a very wealthy Roman Abramovich. With Abramovich’s money manager, Jose Mourinho, has put together a very strong squad this year.

          Many people would be very surprised if Messi decided to move to another club considering that he has been with Barcelona since he was 13 years old. He was born on June 24, 1987 in Rosario, Argentina. When he was 13 years old he moved overseas to play for FCB, and he has been playing for them ever since. For this reason, many believe that Messi will never leave Barcelona.

          Two English clubs Manchester United and Arsenal FC have been in cahoots with FC Barcelona, but it is said that Messi doesn’t want to go to either of these clubs. It is said that Lionel wants to wait until the end of the season to move to Chelsea for a 200 million pound deal. One reason Messi would want to move to the club is because his close friend and former teammate, Cesc Fabregas, is on the team, and he wants to link up with him again. Contrary to what many may believe, Jose Mourinho of Chelsea has said that the rumors are false. I guess we will find out.

          Imagine if Messi did move to Chelsea! In my opinion, the team is already uncanny and if they got the best striker in the world, they would be unstoppable. They would have an extreme scoring threat from Messi, Eden Hazard, Willian, Oscar, and many more. Along with the attacking threats the team would receive, their defense is very solid too. I hope that Messi does indeed move to Chelsea, but my hopes are not high.
