That’s according to media outlet Diario Gol who say the Argentine
superstar has urged club chiefs to snap up the Lyon ace.
Barca still want Philippe Coutinho.
The Catalans were desperate to secure his services in the summer.
But Jurgen Klopp refused to play ball and snubbed repeated bids for his
prized asset.




That hasn’t put off the La Liga giants, though.
Barca are widely expected to test Liverpool’s resolve again during the
forthcoming transfer window.
However, Diario Gol suggest
Messi would prefer Barca to start
focussing their efforts on Fekir.
Real are now sniffing around and
Messi - who is hugely influential
at the Nou Camp - doesn’t want to
miss out on the Frenchman.
Both La Liga clubs will need to be quick if they want to get a deal done.
Starsport understands an Arsenal transfer worth more than £60m for the
attacker is almost done.
The 24-year-old can play as either a striker or a No.10 with Lyon owner
and chairman Jean-Michel Aulas calling him “my Lionel Messi”.
If the Gunners can clinch the deal, Fekir would link up again with
Alexandre Lacazette, his former team-mate.
