Neither Barcelona nor Al Hilal, Messi's decision to go to a billionaire team from the Premier League

Lionel Messi's future is up in the air. The top winner of the Ballon d'Or (7) wants to return to Barcelona, but in Spain there are more doubts than certainties. The League has not yet approved the economic viability plan for the Catalan team and the people around Rosario are starting to get impatient because they don't want the decision to take place in the next few days.

Without going any further, Jorge Messi was in direct contact with both Joan Laporta and Javier Tebas (president of La Liga) to learn more about the situation. After the talks, Leo's father gave a deadline on Monday for the culés to show him that they are in a position to sign his son, but the latest information says that it is likely that the green light will reach beyond next week.

In this context, Gastón Edul mentioned in one of his streams that there is another club in Europe strongly interested in the top winner of the Ballon d'Or, but he did not give the name. Immediately afterwards, another journalist who was in the room appeared, Matías Pelliccioni, with the Manchester City diver on. Both smiled complicitly and evidence was left that this covered team would be the team led by Pep Guardiola. It should be remembered that Edul is one of the few communicators who has first-hand information about Messi.

What had Guardiola said about the chance of having Messi?

A few weeks ago, Pep gave an interview to ESPN and talked about where he would like to see the Argentine next season. Far from mentioning Manchester City, he expressed that he wants Lionel to return to Barcelona so he can enjoy it from his seat. However, he never denied that he would look for him if the Catalans fail to sign him.
