Lionel Messi's agent has reportedly met with Premier League club, Chelsea.

The Sun has reported that the Blues are interested in signing the Barcelona star, should he consider quitting the club after he was sentenced to 21 months in prison.

However, he is unlikely to go to prison, as under Spanish law, any prison term under two years can be served under probation.

The Sun's report claims that Messi's agent and father, Jorge, has met with Roman Abramovich on the Chelsea owner's yacht.

Chelsea are understood to be willing to pay Messi more than his current £600,000-a-week wage at Barcelona.
