INTER MILAN are reportedly hoping to sensationally sign Lionel Messi from Barcelona.
And if the little magician does join, the Italian giants could have a fearsome front line.
The Barcelona star is yet to agree a new deal with the Catalan club, and will be a free agent next summer.
According to La Gazzetta Dello Sport Inter Milan are ready to pay Messi £60MILLION a season to join them and will offer him a four-year deal worth £235m.
There have been murmurings all season that he has become increasingly frustrated with how things are going at the Nou Camp.
If he does end up rocking the football world and joining Inter, he could form a front free alongside Alexis Sanchez and Romelu Lukaku.

Sanchez would likely be allowed to leave Manchester United as part of Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s continual rebuild.
But one attacker could be edged out at the San Siro – and that is Lautaro Martinez.
And with Barca linked with the 22-year-old Argentinian, he could even be used in the Messi deal.
In midfield there could also be a new face in Tottenham star Tanguy Ndombele.
He has failed to light up Spurs, and could be involved in a swap with Milan Skriniar.
The defence could feature two former Premier League stars.
Ashley Young and Victor Moses both made shock moves to Inter but have fitted in well respectively.
They are likely to flank the experienced Diego Godin and Stefan Vrij at centre-half.
Samir Handanovic won’t be going anywhere, with the club captain having another stellar campaign between the sticks.
