Los Angeles Galaxy in talks with Lionel Messi’s father

Los Angeles Galaxy are in talks with Lionel Messi’s father, MLS official website said quoting Radio Continental.

“According to a Tuesday report from Radio Continental in Argentina, LA Galaxy head coach Guillermo Barros Schelotto reached out to Jorge Messi, the father and agent of Lionel, to gauge his son's future at Barcelona — possibly to plant a seed about Messi making a blockbuster move to MLS,” the website says.

The 32-year-old star has right to unilaterally withdraw from Barca deal in the end of each season.

Los Angeles Galaxy are trying to sign a star after Zlatan Ibrahimovic’s move to Europe.

Messi’s relations with the management and especially sporting director Eric Abidal have been tense so far.

Manchester City and Juventus are reportedly interested in signing the Argentina star.
