Lionel Messi has branded reports linking him with a move to Inter Milan as “fake news”.
The Barcelona forward took to social media to rubbish more speculation over his future at the club, which also linked him with former side Newell’s Old Boys in Argentina.
Messi posted “lie number one” and “lie number two” over a screengrab of a tweet by TNT Sports, which also questioned whether Messi paid the bail money for former Barca team-mate Ronaldinho to be released from prison in Paraguay.
He added:
“What they said in this same media about Newell’s a few weeks ago was also false. Thank goodness that nobody believes them.”
The 32-year-old is said to be increasingly frustrated at the volume of misinformation being reported about his future.
