Former Real Madrid star Luis Figo said on Sunday that it is impossible for Lionel Messi to sign for Real Madrid.

The former Portuguese international became a villain among Barcelona fans after signing for Real Madrid in 2000.

Some reports claimed that now Messi is ready to leave Barcelona this summer, and is in talks to join their Arch rivals Real Madrid.

"This year, it's impossible for a club to meet Messi's release clause," Figo said ahead of the Champions League final in Lisbon, according to Marca.

"The market is what it is: very static and it's very difficult, if not impossible, for a team to be able to pay for his contract," he added.

"I think it's almost impossible that he'll do something similar to what happened with me 20 years ago," Figo noted.
