The Argentine star has also been linked with PSG, Inter Milan and Chelsea. 

A move to Juventus has also been mooted, which would see him link up with long-time rival Cristiano Ronaldo.

COVID-19 Lands Ex-F1 Boss In Hospital

Fomer F1 team boss Flavio Briatore is reportedly in hospital in Italy, due to complications from COVID-19. 

The 70-year-old enjoyed his fair share of success in Formula 1, helping Michael Schumacher win 2 Word Championship titles with Benetton in the mid-90s. 

However, he was forced to step down from Renault  over the ‘crashgate’ scandal of 2008, where Nelson Piquet deliberately crashed out of the Singapore GP to allow his team-mate Fernando Alonso win the race.
