That’s according to Spanish news outlet Don Balon who say the
Argentine superstar wants the 21-year-old at the Nou Camp.
It’s suggested Messi views Alli as the long-term heir to Rakitic in the
Barca engine room.
Don Balon reckon Schalke star Leon Goretzka has also been mooted as a
potential arrival.
Messi, however, only has eyes for Alli.
The England international has flourished since moving to Tottenham from
MK Dons in 2015.
He's bagged 31 goals in 80
games for the north Londoners.
Mauricio Pochettino will be
extremely reluctant to part with his
prized asset, though.
Spurs are eyeing silverware this term and Alli is a key cog in their first-
team.
Despite Messi’s eagerness to play alongside him, Don Balon say Alli isn’t
the priority of Barca bigwigs.
Liverpool maestro Philippe Coutinho and Aletico Madrid forward Antoine
Griezmann reportedly remain the clubs top targets.
Barca were determined to sign Coutinho in the summer.
But Liverpool refused to do business and the Brazilian playmaker
remained at Anfield.
