English tabloid The Sun claims tha Manchester City have informed FC Barcelona of their intention to sign Lionel Messi for £100 million in order to reunite him with former coach Pep Guardiola.
“SunSport understands negotiations between executives of both clubs were held at the end of last month to determine if a world record transfer is possible. City did not make a formal bid for the five-time World Player of the Year, but made it clear they were not afraid of topping the global high of £89m that Manchester United paid Juventus for Paul Pogba last summer. Barca have so far refused to name a price or even confirm they will sell Messi, who will turn 30 in June. However, their willingness to listen to City has encouraged the Etihad hierarchy and the conversation was described as ‘positive’ by a source” the report reads.
haha poor pep..need messi to win..without him, he is nothing
#overratedmanager
The reason people are talking about him leaving and not leaving for “very” much, is his contract is running out 2018 and the club has stated it seems very dificult to offer him an new contract with the same salary as Neymar and Suarez are getting…
Maybe, if we qualify to Cl and with the help from Zanetti and the millions from Suning, just maybe we stand a chance too… he has talked very positively about Inter in the past so…. maybe 😉
100m!? if flopba cost MU 89m, than messi will cost them 200m.. LOL
In a world that lindof cost 50m messi will not be sold for 100m
100 mil pounds my friend! The 50 mil were Euro….
