Lionel Messi has refused to rule out an eventual move to the Barclays Premier League.
It
was claimed this week that Chelsea, Manchester United and Manchester
City approached the four-time Ballon d'Or winner previously with the
Argentina international open to leaving Barcelona.
Messi's
recently row with tax authorities in Spain led to speculation that the
28-year-old is prepared to leave due to the extensive media coverage on
the case.

Asked if he could leave La Liga, Messi said: 'I don't want to look too far ahead.
'I live for the moment and at this moment I am with Barcelona in La Liga where I've made my living and I live very well.'
Messi
could appear in court along with his father, Jorge, after being accused
of defrauding the Spanish tax office of €4.1million (£2.9m) between
2007 and 2009. Both deny any wrongdoing.
The
star is currently sidelined after suffering a knee ligament injury last
month during Barcelona's win over Las Palmas. It could rule him out of
El Clasico with Real Madrid on November 21.
Messi has been at the Nou Camp since he was 13 with a current contract that runs until 2018.
