Inter Milan plans to 'move for Lionel Messi so he can rival Cristiano Ronaldo at Juventus'

Inter Milan has made Lionel Messi a shock target for the Italian club so that the Argentine star can 'rival Cristiano Ronaldo at Juventus'. 

This comes after Cristiano Ronaldo left Real Madrid for Juventus in a £88million move after nine-years with the Spanish club.

According to reports in Italy, Inter Milan is said to be plotting an audacious swoop for Ronaldo's fierce rival, following comments made by Pirelli CEO and Inter fan Marco Tronchetti Provera.

Marco Tronchetti hinted that the club's owners want to make a 'huge signing'. 

'I hope that Suning, once Financial Fair Play will allow it, can make a huge signing,' said the CEO.

'Messi? How can you say no to Messi?'
