ROMAN ABRAMOVICH has authorised an astonishing £80million move for Lionel Messi.
Chelsea's move for the Barcelona maestro would shatter the world transfer record of £46.5m that took Zinedine Zidane to Real Madrid in 2001 and send shock waves through the football world. The Spanish giants are desperate to keep Messi but have been stunned by news Abramovich wants the Argentine so badly. And with almost £100m on the table, the Barca hierarchy are split on the decision to sell.
It's a massive statement of intent from Chelsea's billionaire owner who, even before Messi's superb individual performances against Manchester United in the Champions League, had identified him as the kind of player to bring fantasy football to Stamford Bridge.
Abramovich has made it clear to Avram Grant the style of Chelsea's football MUST change. He has tolerated what's been on offer since the sacking of Jose Mourinho because he accepts that it takes time to change. A source close to the proposed deal said: "Roman is convinced Messi could change the whole face of Chelsea and is willing to spend what it takes to get him.
Attractive
"He has always wanted that type of player. Under Jose Mourinho he accepted the football because it was bringing in the trophies but he got bored. Grant wants to change things but has explained it takes time and a lot of money to alter the style.
"Now is the time for Roman to finance that change. Chelsea are attractive because of the wages on offer and they are in the Champions League Final." Abramovich is also considering making other changes. Grant's position will be discussed after the Final while Frank Arnesen's position is under threat.
Arnesen, whose job title is chief scout and director of youth development, was brought in to oversee the identification and coaching of young talent but Blues chiefs have been disappointed with the calibre of player coming through the ranks.

If this works out, Chelsea may just become the club with the largest fanbase.
You think one Messi alone can make them a club with the largest fan base meh... It will take more than this... History is very important to a club... Look at Liverpool, never win any EPL but still the top two supported clubs in England... Perhaps it will take another 20 yrs like what Pool has done in their last 20 yrs... I think today they are getting the support for their earlier good work...

Yea true, but nowadays history doesn't matter to anyone anymore. So many people are not putting what Liverpool has won into mind anymore. They think very little of it.

They think very little of it.unless you are not a Pool's fan, I recalled pools fans wearing the jersey like "Istanbtul 5" to remind the world that they are the most successful in terms of UCL in EPL.History makes the club not the money. And of course, Pool's fans got nothing else to shout about.
As for Messi, it is all down to the manager. So what if U got messi, Chelsea used to have Robben, Duff who plays almost similiar but still they got kicked out.
