Maybe in two or five years he will get bored with La Liga, want a change and come over here.
Manchester City striker Alvaro Negredo believes Lionel Messi could be tempted to come to the Premier League if he gets bored of life in the Primera Division.
There has been a steady stream of world-class talent moving from Spain to England in recent years, including stars such as Sergio Aguero, Yaya Toure and Mesut Ozil, and Negredo believes the Premier League is now the place to be for the game's leading players.
Arguably the best footballer on the planet is not currently plying his trade in England though, with four-time reigning world player of the year Messi, 26, continuing to torment opposition defences for Spanish giants Barcelona, where he has spent his whole professional career so far.

Brendan Rodgers believes Suarez is happy playing at Liverpool FC
The situation was markedly different in the summer when - in the light of a bid in excess of £40m from Arsenal - the Uruguay international claimed the club had reneged on a deal which would allow him to join a side playing in the UEFA Champions League.
However, a promising start to the season sees the Reds in third, behind Chelsea only on goal difference, and Suarez has contributed significantly already after returning from suspension, scoring six times in five league matches.
Earlier in the week, captain Steven Gerrard said he thought the 26-year-old would reconsider his position at the end of the campaign depending on whether the club had qualified for the Champions League.

Man United v Arsenal at Old Trafford, and we are underdogs? Moyes speaks on the Super Sunday game
United trail Arsene Wenger's side by eight points in the table, with the North London club unbeaten in the Premier League since their opening day loss to Aston Villa, although the current champions have not suffered defeat in any of their last eight games.
If selected, the 39-year old would face the in-form Gunners for the 50th time in his career, but despite Arsenal being the bookmakers' favourites for the game, Giggs believes that the hosts are undeserving of this tag.
"Man United v Arsenal at Old Trafford, and we are underdogs?" he said.
"I wouldn't say we were underdogs. But I take the point that Arsenal are the form team and it is going to be a tough game.

Chelsea Boss Jo Mo: "They know what they can do and laugh because I can do nothing"
The Blues are the only English team involved in the UEFA Champions League in midweek whose weekend game has not been scheduled for Sunday.
Mourinho was similarly upset last month when they were forced to play Manchester City and Arsenal with little over 48 hours rest.
Arsenal and Manchester United clash as part of Sky Sports' Super Sunday Hat-Trick, which also includes City's trip to Sunderland.
And Mourinho feels those with the power to change the schedule are making fun of Chelsea, as he said: "I think they laugh.
