Former AS Roma star Abel Balbo rates Juan Iturbe as the next Lionel Messi.
Iturbe, currently of Cerro Porteno, is a target for Manchester United boss Sir Alex Ferguson. He will join Porto in the summer, but there's claims he will then immediately be bought by United.
Balbao isn't surprised by United's interest: "Iturbe is the future Messi, he's only 17 years old and is already playing in the European Cup of South America.
"He is an investment, a great champion who is now a modest price, but in a few years will cost a lot. "
