He even joked with Ronaldo, about entering Lille to aid them counter Messi and Co.

"I feel incredible," said the Portuguese defender on talkSPORT. I'm happy because of hearing that a talent like Lionel Messi is playing in our league in France is wonderful.

It's thrilling.  Surely, we'll have more competition, but we're up for the task - I'm messaging Ronaldo each day to come to Lille! "'Ha ha ha,' he just responded.'"


"Assume if we have a clean sheet over them [Mbappe, Lionel Messi and Neymar ]." Fonte stated. Even if we do it, it will only increase our value.

"Amazing trio up front. Is it likely that they will fight back? I'm not sure but t he league's competition this year will be fascinating to observe.

"However, I'd want to address another point. I'm only interested in learning more about French Financial Fair Play.

Each club is putting a cap on their spending. They can't buy much, and they can't acquire strikers on high salaries, and now Paris Saint-Germain comes along and it appears as if there are no limitations."

Messi has signed a lucrative two-year contract extension option till June 2024.
