The Turkish side have just snapped up ex-Barcelona star Samuel
Eto'o and intend to add his former team-mate to their squad one
day
Antalyaspor president Gultekin Gencer has revealed his ambitious plan
to sign Barcelona superstar Lionel Messi in five years' time.
The newly-promoted Super Lig side are making headlines at the
moment as they have already acquired Samuel Eto’o from
Sampdoria and are now on the verge of reuniting him with another
former Blaugrana star in Ronaldinho.
However, Gencer says that Antalyaspor will not stop there in their
attempts to sign Camp Nou icons, admitting that the Turkish club
plan to add Messi to their all-star collection.
"I hope the next president after me will be able to bring Messi to
Antalyaspor in five years' time," he told LigTV.
The Antalya-based club were promoted to the top-tier of
Turkish football at the end of last season, and hope to bring in
several household names in order to fill a new 40,000 capacity
stadium, which they are in the process of completing.
