Grant targets Kaka and Messi Chelsea boss reveals ambitious summer plans By Rob Parrish Last updated: 17th April 2008 Premier League - Everton v Chelsea Everton to win 2-1 - 10/1 or Chelsea to win 1-0 - 6/1. First Goalscorers - Yakuba 7/1, Anichebe 10/1 and Drogba 9/2. Place your first bet and we'll match it up to £20. Kaka and Messi: Chelsea targets Related links Teams AC Milan Barcelona More Teams Chelsea Also see Chelsea fixtures Chelsea stats Chelsea forum Chelsea manager Avram Grant wants to bring Kaka and Lionel Messi to Stamford Bridge. The Blues boss has already pledged to spend big in this summer's transfer market and has now made the unusual step of naming two of his top targets. Milan ace Kaka is the current World Player of the Year, while gifted young Argentina international Messi regularly lights up Camp Nou with his stunning displays for Barcelona. Grant has struggled to win over sections of the sceptical Chelsea support who feel he has failed to match up to the standards set by Jose Mourinho. The Israeli's only realistic hope of silverware this season now appears to be the UEFA Champions League, with an enthralling clash with Premier League rivals Liverpool on the horizon. Monday's 1-1 home draw against Wigan left Chelsea five points adrift of Manchester United in the Premier League title race, and Grant has vowed to act ahead of next season. Flair player He told the Daily Star: "We need to do something. We want to be more consistent and of course I need players who can help with this. "Will it take a flair player like Kaka or Messi? I will not reject that one of those names will be here. "Will they come? I think so, yes. This is a big club." He added: "Only one team can win the Champions League. Only one team can be champions of England. "You think players will only come to these two teams? No. "It's not about how many players - it's about which player you can bring. We want a different style of football. If a player is good for this, we want to take him. "I am already planning. We're speaking about it all the time for the long and short-term." -------------------------------------------------------------------------- For what it's worth - I reckon they will sign one of them. |

They have absolutely no chance of signing any player of that quality.
Why would someone like Messi leave Barca to join Chelsea. If Kaka leaves he will go to Madrid. They are really becoming desperate and making themselves look very silly. I heard Avram Grant say he wanted Pato from Milan this morning, what a £#%&!ing clown |

They had np chance of signing Schevchenko but they got him. If they offer £60M for Messi, they'll get him. The same applies to Kaka.
Hopefully both players will now be put under pressure by theor clubs to ridicule this link and Grant won't get them as the players will rule it out. |

For Chelsea to even get a bid accepted, it'd need to be around 80m i reckon for Messi. And i still dont think he'd want to join them.
Kaka, maybe if Milan need the money from the purchase of Ronaldinho, but again they're not strapped for cash, and knowing Romans purse strings as they do, could demand 70-80m. |

With 5 games to go Milan (and Sampdoria) are 4 points behind 4th place and Udinese are 5 points behind. No guarantee yet of Champions League football for them next season.
Also Ajax (and Huntelaar) need to win their last game and hope PSV don't win to automatically qualify for the CL - otherwise they are then in the 2nd - 4th place play offs for the other place. |

chelsea will have a few big signings this summer. they'll have quite a few leaving and will need to sign some major players. they'll still go backwards, though. i'll be interested to see who replaces grant. whatever they're saying to the cameras, i don't believe for a second that he'll be in charge for the new season. a cheeky bid for juande ramos is not unlikely imo, though i doubt he'd be willing. they'll definitely get someone in, however. drogba, shevchenko, malouda and lampard out, i'd guess. a bunch of not so young names in. no particular change in how they play. |
