Messi has cut frustrated figure in Spain at times over the past few years, especially after the second leg of his side's semi-final defeat to Liverpool in last season's UEFA Champions League.

With Barcelona in pole position to go through to the final, the Catalans blew a 3-0 aggregate lead at Anfield in what was one of the most enthralling comebacks in European history.

Messi was reportedly furious after the game, and admitted in an interview in November last year that, while he considers the Blaugrana as his home, he wants to "play in a winning team".

If the Argentina superstar were to consider leaving the Spanish giants, football agent Francis Nkwain believes the Reds could be the team he joins. 

"Liverpool have hit a little sweet spot they can only add to," he told On The Whistle podcast, as per Rousing The Kop.

"They are the kind of team where, if Messi was to move for one final challenge in a competitive league, Liverpool is that club."
