Lionel Messi reveals his pick of the next great Argentina superstar, who instantly becomes a Barcelona target

Lionel Messi apparently has the power to create transfer rumors by giving a simple interview.

The Barcelona superstar, currently recovering from a knee injury, spoke to Italian outlet Tuttosport this week and picked who in his opinion could become the next great Argentinian footballer after Messi's decline/retirement. Messi gave an honest, innocent response, picking Juventus star youngster Paulo Dybala as the new King of Argentina:

"Paulo is a great player and he has a bright future ahead of him. I have no doubt about it that people will talk about him a lot over the next few years.
