Messi wants Serie A

For years now, Barcelona starlet Lionel Messi has been considered an unreachable target for any major club. The 21-year-old is seen as a symbol of the club, and there is little reason to believe they will let go of the player in the foreseeable future.However, the player's agent and father Jorge Messi made some declarations which suggest his son will not stay at Barça forever, and that Serie A is a league he wants to play in at some point in his career.

"For the moment we are thinking of Barcelona, which is like a second home for Leo, and he wants to redeem himself after last season where he was plagued by injuries," said Mr. Messi."But it's also true that playing in Serie A is a dream for many players, including my son.

"And since no one knows what the future might hold, let's say it's possible that this desire may be realised sooner or later."Asked about a possible approach by Inter, whose president Massimo Moratti is known to be a huge admirer of the player, Messi's father said: "Let's say there hasn't been any serious contact. But, I repeat, things might change in the future."
