Should Messi move to Stamford Bridge it will shatter the current world transfer record of £46.5m that Real Madrid paid Juventus for Zinedine Zidane in 2001.
Abramovich is adamant that Chelsea must start playing attractive, attacking football and was rumoured to have lined up a swoop for Ronaldinho, before the Brazilian's sudden dip in form.
Messi, however, has shone for Barcelona, and even outplayed Cristiano Ronaldo during his club's Champions League semi-final defeat to Manchester United.
A source close to the proposed deal is quoted as saying: "Roman is convinced Messi could change the whole face of Chelsea and is willing to spend what it takes to get him.
"He has always wanted that type of player. Under Jose Mourinho he accepted the football because it was bringing in the trophies, but he got bored.
"Grant wants to change things but explained it takes time and a lot of money to alter the style. Now is the time for Roman to finance that change.
"Chelsea are attractive because of the wages on offer, and they are in the Champions League final."
