Pochettino's long-standing, surprising transfer ambition is approved by Todd Boehly
PSG star Lionel Messi is available for transfer to Chelsea during the summer transfer window.
Although the team won't play in the Champions League the following season, owner Boehly will still spend money, and a goal scorer is at the top of his wish list.
New manager Mauricio Pochettino is aware that, in order to avoid losing his job prematurely, he needs to bolster the front line with a striker who can score on a consistent basis.
And Messi is still regarded as one of the greatest players in football history and one of the biggest stars in the sport.
He has received outrageous offers to leave Europe and play football in Saudi Arabia in a £480 million contract, but he is still eager to play at the highest level possible and compete with the best.
Therefore, Barcelona would be the most appealing option given his long history with the team and friendship with manager Xavi, but they might not be able to give him the deal he wants due to their financial difficulties.
