Angel Di Maria has claimed that his compatriot Lionel Messi, will not have any issue working with Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho.
The 27-year-old has been linked with a transfer away from Barcelona, after rumours emerged that he was not happy working with Luis Enrique.
Messi was linked with a big-money move to Stamford Bridge in January, after he followed the Blues’ official Instagram account and Di Maria has added more fuel, by claiming he would do well under Mourinho.
“I don’t think Messi would have any problem working with Mourinho,” Di Maria told FIFA’s official website.
Di Maria, who plays for Manchester United, however admitted that Messi’s loyalty to Barcelona could be a problem.
“But in principle, I don’t think Leo wants to leave Barcelona,” Di Maria added.
“It’s hard to walk away from a club that’s given you everything, where you effectively grew up.”
