Messi Could Be on His Way to Join Ronaldo at Juventus

The fantasy of seeing Leonel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo playing together on the same team was something that could only be imagined in a videogame.

Messi, Ronaldo Power Duo

That was until two weeks ago when the Argentinean exploded the bombshell that he asked for his release from Barcelona turned the fantasy into a rather remote possibility.

After an article published yesterday in L'Equipe, sources have confirmed to AS that Juventus have indeed asked for information about Messi's situation and if it were possible would be keen to see the Barcelona legend line up alongside his eternal rival Ronaldo in Juve's black and white.

Manchester City continue to be the favourites in the race to land Messi's signature, but Juventus' top brass are studying the possibilities and are ready to move if there is an opportunity at a price the club feel they can afford.

Seeing the two greatest players of all time playing besides each other will reap great economic benefits as well as club glory, but the question still remains in the air if the Serie A champions could afford to cash in an enormous amount to sign the Argentinian legend to play alongside their Portuguese ace.
