Chelsea are reportedly planning an astonishing world-record £80million summer swoop for Barcelona's Argentinian playmaker Lionel Messi.
According to the News Of The World, the Blues' billionaire owner Roman Abramovich has authorised the blockbusting swoop for Barcelona's Argentine superstar.
Messi showed his brilliance off to English fans by performing superbly in Barca's Champions League semi-final clashes with Manchester United.
And his bewitching talents could lead to a Chelsea bid that would shatter the world transfer record - the £48million that took Zinedine Zidane from Juventus to Real Madrid in 2001.
Barca are desperate to keep Messi, the darling of the Nou Camp crowd, but a world-record bid could force their hand.
A source close to the proposed deal told the News Of the World: "Roman is convinced Messi could change the whole face of Chelsea and is willing to spend what it takes to get him.
"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."
