Inter to take advantage of Barcelona crisis and go all out for Messi

Former Inter president Massimo Moratti believes the Italian giants are capable of prising Lionel Messi away from Barcelona.

The Argentine's future is up in the air following Barcelona's humiliating Champions League defeat at the hands of Bayern Munich.

Messi, whose contract at the Camp Nou expires next summer, has been linked with a move to Inter in recent months.

"Now, I'm simply an Inter fan and I don't have any confidential information," Moratti told Quotidiano Sportivo.

"But I do know one thing - in terms of resources and skills, [Inter owners] Suning have everything it takes to bring Leo to Milan.

"Suning can do it."

La Gazzetta dello Sport recently reported that Inter were ready to offer Messi a five-year deal worth 260 million euros when they expect him to leave Barcelona next summer.
