Europe's biggest clubs are swarming around Barcelona whizkid Lionel Messi as his contract bungle becomes public.
The Argentine's new £1.2 million-a-year Barca deal, which runs to 2010 and has a buyout clause of £100 million, cannot be registered while he remains without a Spanish passport.
While Messi has assured Barca directors of his commitment to the club, that hasn't stopped Italy's biggest clubs from contacting his representatives about moving to the Serie A.
AC Milan, Inter and Juventus have all made enquiries with suggestions Messi can be bought out of his existing Barca deal for an incredible £250,000.
Real Madrid are also keen, although the transfer truce between the two clubs is expected to see them stay on the sidelines if Messi indicates frustration with his present situation.
