Zanetti: Moratti crazy for Messi

Inter Milan defender Javier Zanetti has said that the San Siro based club president Massimo Moratti is desperate to land Argentine star forward Lionel Messi.

The 36-year-old, who is the most capped player in Argentina history, has heaped praise on his countryman but the Nerazzurri player has also said that the 22-year-old is settled at Barcelona.

Inter president Moratti, though, is reportedly desperate to sign the young superstar and will do anything to persuade him to move to the Nerazzurri.

“Moratti is crazy for Messi,” Zanetti told El Mundo Deportivo.

“He wanted to have him in the team but for the moment it’s impossible. With Messi in the team Inter would be extraordinary.

“But Leo doesn’t want to move from Barcelona – all the times that we have spoken about that he says that he is very happy, that he has fun and that he loves the way Barca plays football and all their people.

“That shows that he is a leader. But maybe when I am an official of Inter I have the chance to bring him over.”
