Meanwhile, Legit.ng had earlier reported that Manchester City have reportedly made a U-turn on their chase for out-of-contract Barcelona captain Lionel Messi this summer.
The Argentine's current deal with the Catalans expires at the end of this season - leaving his future at the club highly uncertain.
City are one of the strong contenders to land the 33-year-old once his deal with Barca lapses but they seem to have shifted their focus on other priorities.
Legit.ng also reported that Legit.ng earlier reported that Brazil legend Rivaldo believes Lionel Messi will not leave Barcelona when his contract expires this summer.
The 48-year-old former midfielder says the Argentine has been full of life since Joan Laporta returned as the president this month.
And this is an indication that the six-time Ballon d'Or winner will extend his stay with the Catalans beyond this campaign.
