They are already complete: Guardiola announced that Manchester City will not look for Lionel Messi

If Pep Guardiola had known that Lionel Messi was not going to renew with Barcelona in the summer transfer market, surely today the Argentine would play in the Premier League. After the Barça club announced the departure of the Argentine footballer, his future is uncertain, but the first club to get out of the competition to sign him is the Catalan coach's Manchester City.

Pep Guardiola, Messi's former coach in the Barça team, confirmed that Manchester City will not be the fate of ‘Leo’: “We spent in Grealish and he will wear the number‘ 10 ′ because he convinced us. We thought Leo would stay in Barcelona. Right now, Messi is not in our plans ”.

At another point in the press conference, the Catalan praised Messi: “It was a surprise. Laporta today has been clear about the reasons. As a fan, I would love for him to have ended up at the club. I am grateful to have enjoyed the most extraordinary player that I have seen in my life ”.

The Spanish press is already generating rumors about Messi's future, and anticipates that the captain of the Argentine team has already confirmed several Paris Saint Germain players that he would accept the Parisian club's proposal to play for the club for the next few two seasons.
