"Messi to RM? It takes balls to do that"

Lionel Messi is getting closer to leaving Barcelona. Jorge, his father, told 'Deportes Cuatro' that it is very difficult for the Argentine footballer to stay at the club. 

Several players are talking about a situation which does not seem to be ending for now. The Real Madrid footballer Toni Kroos also talked about it in the podcast 'Einfach mal Luppen.'

"If one of those players is no longer playing in our biggest rivals, it's not necessarily bad for us. Messi away from Barcelona means Barca will be missing one of their best weapons," he said. 

The German also ruled out Messi joining Real Madrid. "I don't think he'll come to Real Madrid. It takes balls to do that."

He also called Messi "one of the best players of all time" although the German still believes Cristiano Ronaldo is better than the Argentine.
