The Bernabeu legend believes the careless nature in
which the Argentine is being looked after could lead to their fierce
rivals tempting him to the capital
Real Madrid legend Hugo Sanchez believes
Barcelona are vulnerable to bids for
Lionel Messi and thinks a shock move to the Bernabeu is not beyond the realms of possibility.
Transfers
between the arch-rivals are rare, with Javier Saviola the only player
to have moved between the two clubs in the past 14 years when he left
Barca for Madrid in 2007.
Sanchez, who starred up front for the
Blancos
between 1985 and 1992, suspects the Argentine is not pleased with his
current deal, which runs until 2018 and contains a buy-out clause set at
€200 million.
"Messi is not feeling valued highly enough by Barcelona with his contract and they must be careful," he told
Bein Sport.
"If Barca are careless, I can see Real Madrid signing him."
Messi has been with the
Blaugrana since 2000 and has lifted the Ballon d'Or four times at the age of just 26.
