Inter owner looks for sponsors to sign Messi

Despite both PSG as well as Manchester City being linked with signing Leo Messi, the truth is that the Italian press keep linking Inter Milan with the Argentine star.

According to what was published by 'La Gazzetta dell Sport', Suning, the Chinese business owner of the Italian side, are looking for sponsors and, above all, the all clear from the Beijing government to focus clearly on signing what many consider to be the best player in the world. 

The Italian source adds that the Inter board aren't giving up and will do everything that is in their hands to sign the Argentine forward from Barcelona, as the interest is real and they will try until the last moment.

Inter aren't only looking for the all clear from the government, but they also want the thumbs up from the Zhang family, owner of the economic empire Suning.

All of this after 'RAC1' published just a few days ago that the Argentine has reportedly communicated to Ronald Koeman that he sees himself more out than in at Barcelona, which would force Barca to find a replacement for him that's up to par.
