Lionel Messi could be set for a move to Chelsea next summer after reportedly becoming embroiled in a cash dispute with Barcelona.
The Argentine forward, who came through the Catalan club's youth ranks, broke Raul's Champions League goal-scoring record during the 4-0 win over APOEL Nicosia on Wednesday.
However, despite the Blaugrana putting a £200m price tag on their star, the Daily Express claims that sportswear manufacturer Adidas may help broker a deal to see Messi join the West London outfit.
Chelsea's quest to lure the player to the Premier League could be boosted by reports that Messi has been studying English and is rumoured to believe that his son Thiago would receive a better education in London.
The Argentina captain is thought to be on a contract worth £16m a year at Camp Nou.
