Chelsea to again try and lure Messi to Stamford Bridge from Barca next summer

Chelsea would reportedly make a new bid for Barcelona's star forward Lionel Messi at the end of the season after they failed with an attempt to lure the Argentine to Stamford Bridge in the summer.

Reports emerged on Friday that Chelsea had a giant offer rejected for Messi during the last transfer window, but Jose Mourinho's side has clearly not given up on a deal.

It has been revealed via Spanish media that Chelsea would again try to bag Messi once the current football campaign comes to an end, Metro.co.uk reported.

Chelsea's last offer for Messi was about 118 million pounds, and it's speculated that any future offer would be a similar amount, amid growing reports that the Argentine is unhappy with life at the Nou Camp.
