Its not weird, it may be random fluff, but Italy are on a high right now after CR7 signing (not since the days of Zizou, Real Ronaldo had they had massive superstars like this), so this basically just italian football reprensatives continuing the PR hype machine by making a basic flirting with the assertion of Messi coming there sometime in the future, just throwing darts in air to excite their countrymen and its football followers even more, thats all there is.
Basically the league hasnt had the absolute best players in the world for a long time, so they creaming themselves right now, and letting the imagination run wild.
You trying to see some kind of real and tangible read onto like something thats being worked on, is weird tho.
