Lionel Messi has reportedly given Barcelona the green light to make a move for Chelsea star Eden Hazard.
According to Don Balon, a Spanish outlet famous for its outlandish transfer claims, Messi is keen for Hazard to join.
The report states that the Argentinian wants to get one over on Real Madrid.
Chelsea are believed to be prepared to listen to offers of around £150m.
But Don Balon state that Barca will test the water by offering £70m and throwing Dembele into the deal as a makeweight.
And Messi approves of the bid as he doesn’t trust the Frenchman to perform in Barca’s side.
