The transfer market has become hotter than ever as a series of shocking news stories have been revealed by the press.

Angry and humiliated, the Serie A club's leadership continuously directed their criticism towards Barca. From AS Roma's sporting director to President James Palotta, everyone expressed outrage at the actions of the reigning La Liga champions. He even offered Messi in exchange for forgiving Barca:
"Barcelona apologized to us, but I don't accept their apology. The only way we can accept their apology and forgive them is if they agree to let Messi go to AS Roma."
Recently, in an interview with Italian media, the legend and director of AS Roma made some surprising comments when asked about this matter. Accordingly, the former Azzurri star expressed great enthusiasm and readiness to welcome the Argentinian striker.
"If Messi really joins AS Roma, I'll go to the airport to pick him up.I will give the legendary number 10 shirt to Leo.""The Prince of Rome" couldn't hide his admiration for the Barcelona superstar.
Totti's statements must have delighted the home fans. After Ronaldo's arrival at Juventus, nothing would be better than Messi following suit and joining the Olimpico Stadium team. Not only would the number 10 striker promote the club's brand, but he would also help Roma compete for titles with their rivals.
Furthermore, Totti revealed that his son is a huge fan of Leo. This is not the first time the former Italian star has publicly expressed his affection for Messi to the media. At the international sports conference in Dubai in December 2017, the Roma legend also praised the 31-year-old striker. He even stated that "La Pulga" is the number one player in the world.
"Ronaldo, Messi, and Neymar are aliens in the world of football. In my opinion, Messi is the best in the world, but don't say this about Cristiano Ronaldo."Totti commented.
