Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo could play together at Juventus next season

Former Brazil star Rivaldo reckons agents are conspiring to get Messi to make Juve his next stop.

It has been claimed Messi, 33, will only stay at the Nou Camp if old pal Xavi Hernandez is the next manager.

Messi and Ronaldo competed for the title of world's greatest player when they were both in Spain.

That was before Portuguese superstar Ronaldo, 35, quit Real Madrid in 2018 for £99m.

The prospect of the pair lining up in the same team for the first time ever would certainly whet the appetite.

And it appeared to take a step closer after Spanish radio station Cadena SER reported that Messi would see out his £500,000-per-week contract at the club before moving on next summer.

Rivaldo reckons agents are hatching an incredible ploy to get Messi to Turin next season.

The former Barca star told Betfair: "With all this speculation, I believe that some agents are already dreaming about a Messi-Ronaldo double at Juventus and how big it will be around the globe.

"If that happened there would be a world "boom", and I believe Juventus would quickly recover any investment on the Argentinian thanks to the boost they would get from visibility and marketing.

"It would be historical to see both playing together and I'm sure many Juve sponsors would love to help financially, so, it's also a possibility for Messi.

"If there are rumours about his exit, then of course every club will be thinking about how they can sign him.
