Manchester United could be giving a helping hand by Lionel Messi to land a £100m target, while an Arsenal fall-guy could land a move to one of the giants of world football, according to Tuesday’s European papers.
MESSI DEMANDS BARCELONA BRING IN LUCAS PAVON
Barcelona have been linked with a swoop for Boca Juniors forward Lucas Pavon, according to reports in the Spanish media.
Pavon netted seven goals and claimed 19 assists in 32 appearances for Boca last year, and Spanish paper AS, believes that was more than enough to convince Messi that he would be a useful addition for the LaLiga champions.
And it’s suggested that any move for Pavon, who most often plays on the right side of the attack, would allow Ousmane Dembele to move on, with Messi reportedly happy to see the star move on this summer. Reports in Spain have linked the Frenchman with a move to Manchester United – and it’s thought Messi would not oppose any such deal going through.
United would need to part with around £100m to convince Barcelona to sell, although much of that outlay could be offset by the exit of Anthony Martial.
Pavon, meanwhile, has a €42.5m release clause in his contract and selling Dembele and signing the Argentine would give Barca the funds to further strengthen their squad this summer.
Pavon was part of Argentina’s disappointing World Cup squad, which suffered a last-16 exit to France.
