Holland says Messi mega move to Chelsea ‘impossible’

Chelsea have distanced themselves from the prospect of making a £500 million (€640m) move for Barcelona superstar Lionel Messi.

The Premier League leaders have been linked with Messi following claims in Spain this week that the 27-year-old’s relationship with Barca coach Luis Enrique has broken down.

Assistant-coach Steve Holland believes the sums involved in luring Messi away from the Nou Camp make the transfer impossible for any club.
