Barcelona's new international sporting director admits the financial firepower of Manchester City and Paris Saint-Germain could one day lure Lionel Messi away from the Camp Nou.
There has been speculation over Messi's future since the turn of the year although the Argentina forward has been in record-breaking form for the Blaugrana.
Messi scored his 24th La Liga hat-trick during the Catalans' 6-1
mauling of Rayo Vallecano on Sunday to send them top of the table.
And although Ariedo Braida admits that it would be "nearly
impossible" to pry the 27-year-old away from the club, he feels big-spending City and PSG are two clubs that might be capable of pulling off a mega-deal for the player.
He told Spanish TV channel Esport3 : "I think that it’s nearly impossible that [he] can leave, but with City and PSG that have so much money, [it] can happen.
"Sometimes strange things happen. He is a phenomenon, an extra-terrestrial comparable to Maradona and Pele."
