Hours before Messi's last game with PSG, Manchester City's whim to Lionel that makes Barcelona tremble

Lionel Messi must define in which team he will play next season. Messi will face Clermont this Saturday in what will be his last presentation as a PSG footballer and then he will have the freedom to negotiate with the team that wishes for the coming season. Although he has not yet spoken, reliable sources such as Gastón Edul confirm that his desire is to return to Barcelona, but this is not as easy as it seems.

For weeks, it was believed that his return to football in Spain was already done. However, now that the end of the season is approaching, everything is still very cold and the captain of the Argentine National Team wants guarantees that Barça can sign him in June. Leo is willing to wait, but only for a few days. If the culé team begins to show complications to sign him, he will opt for another option.

Now, the only two formal offers that Messi has on the table to date are those from Al Hilal and Inter Miami. However, the top winner of the Ballon d'Or is not seduced by either from a sports point of view and he wants to continue playing on the Old Continent. In this context, Manchester City appeared as a cover in case Lionel fails to return to Barcelona, and now Pep Guardiola winked at him.

Pep Guardiola's nod to Lionel Messi worries Barcelona

In a recent interview, the Catalan coach explained his secret to success in his coaching career. "I'll tell you my secret: Messi, Lewandowski, Erling Haaland and Agüero," said Pep. Thus, he once again opened the door to join the '10' of the Albiceleste and Julián Álvarez in Manchester City.
