Chelsea fans sit down and hold your breath, no he hasn’t signed a contract with the Blues yet, but the Messi to Chelsea saga is not ready to die down just yet.
According to FootTheBall sources, after his visit to Roman Abramovich’s Yatch, Lionel Messi’s father Jorge Horácio Messi spoke to Chelsea’s filthy rich Russian owner on phone.
The two had a very lengthy conversation and according to sources Jorge spoke in detail about Messi’s unhappiness over the lack of support by Barcelona in the recently concluded tax evasion case.
Both Lionel and Jorge were found guilty by a Catalonia court on 3 counts of tax evasion, with Messi getting prison sentence of 21-months, but due to a loop-hole in the Spanish law, the Argentine superstar won’t go to jail. 
But even then Messi is not pleased with how his current club handled the situation and he is considering his options and who better then Chelsea who have been courting the 29-year old for years now.
