'I have another grandson who is just as good as Messi,' says Barcelona striker's grandfather

Barcelona star Lionel Messi has a cousin who is as talented as him, the player's grandfather has claimed.
ccording to Antonio Cuchitini, 13-year-old Bruno Biancucchi, who plays in the youth ranks of Renato Cesarini, a club located in Rosario, has all the capabilities required to reach the same heights as the Barcelona prodigy.
"I have another grandson, from another daughter of mine, who is the brother of two kids who play in Paraguay and plays just like Lio," Antonio Cuchitini told Radio Mitre.
"My grandsons who play in Paraguay are very good. I want them all to succeed, all three of them."
But Antonio Cuchitini noted that the young Argentine is still not thinking about following in the footsteps of Messi, who left his homeland at the age of 11 to pursue his career in Europe.
"Bruno is afraid that the same thing that happened to Lio happens to him," he added.
"He is afraid that he will be taken to Europe and he is too attached to his mother."
