Barcelona are reportedly prepared to sell Lionel Messi this summer if they receive an offer of £200m.
After weeks of speculation, it was revealed on Tuesday evening that long-serving forward Messi had formally requested to depart Camp Nou during the summer transfer window.
However, while the 33-year-old wants to leave on a free transfer via an exit clause in his contract, that option expired on June 10, putting Barcelona in a stronger position at the negotiating table.
Nevertheless, keen to avoid losing the club legend for nothing in 2021, AS claims that the Catalan giants are willing to accept £200m for the Argentina international.
Despite Messi now closing in on veteran status, that valuation will likely attract interest from a number of top European clubs, including Manchester City and Paris Saint-Germain.
Inter Milan and Manchester United are also being tipped to involve themselves in the race for the attacker's signature.
