As per La Gazzetta Dello Sport, apart from Juventus, Manchester United, Manchester City, Inter Milan and Paris Saint-Germain are the ones who are interesting in getting Messi in their team.

However, it is very unlikely that it would happen as the club is already paying heavy wages for Ronaldo and getting Messi would only add on to their expenses. Ditto with PSG.
Manchester United who has had a tough time in recent times might not be able to bear the expenses of Messi.
