Lionel Messi: 'Dimitar Berbatov at Barcelona would be impossible'

Lionel Messi has said that he thinks it would be "impossible" for Dimitar Berbatov to join Barcelona.

Reports in Spain had claimed that the La Liga champions were considering a January move for the Fulham striker as cover for the injured Argentine.

However, the reigning Ballon d'Or winner told TV7: "I haven't heard the rumour that Berbatov is linked to Barcelona. In fact he is a good player, he has experience in a big team.

"It's not my business to interfere with the club's transfer decisions but I think it's impossible for Dimitar to join Barcelona."

Berbatov has scored twice in the Premier League this season.
