Transfer Deal: Manchester City receives positive news concerning pursuit of Argentine forward

Manchester City have received a positive boast in their pursuit of Barcelona forward Lionel Messi who has been linked with a move away from the Spanish giant.

Lionel Messi shocked the whole football world when he made his intentions of leaving Barcelona known during the last transfer window.

Though he reversed his decision by staying with the Spanish giant, Lionel Messi is yet to agree a new deal and has been tipped to leave after 2020/2021 season.

Manchester City have been tipped as his preferred destination as Pep Guardiola will be eager to reunite with a player with whom he won the UEFA Champions League.

According to James Ducker of The Telegraph, Pep Guardiola might be adding the Argentine to his squad as one of Barcelona’s presidential candidates believes he will be leaving the Catalonia club at the end of the season.

Agusti Benedito who is in the running to replace Josep Maria Bartomeu while speaking with ESPN stated that keeping Messi would be the best news for the club but he is not very optimistic.

Lionel Messi has won all the trophies available at Barcelona and will be eager to take up a new challenge either at Manchester City or Paris Saint-Germain.

The Argentine recently broke Pele’s longtime goal record for a single club and will be eager to create a legacy at another top club.
