Man. City ready to pay whatever it takes to buy Messi from Barca
Manchester City in the English Premiership League are going for the biggest transfer deal in the emerging season in their bid to secure the services of Lionel Messi from Barcelona of Spain. The English club after their unexpected loss at the quarter finals of the Champions League to Lyon, expressed concerns on the weakness of the attack and the need to strengthen the squad’s attack.
National Daily gathered that Man. City have declared that they are prepared to pay Messi “whatever it takes” to make the move a reality.
Manchester City was on Saturday beaten 3 goals to 1 by Lyon in the Champion League quarter finals in Lisbon after high expectations of getting over to the semifinals of the competition.
Coincidentally, Barcelona was humiliated by Bayern Munich of Germany 8 goals to 2 also in the Champions League semifinals.
Since the humiliating defeat, Manchester City was gathered to be prepared to offer an opportunity for Messi to leave Barcelona, a top club in Spain that has been in disarray since the Bayern Munich defeat, anticipating that Messi would decide to leave Spain.
The 8 – 2 Bayern Munich soccer onslaught left gross frustration in Barcelona which culminated into immediate sack of the coach. Most players are also on line for sack. Messi has been under surveillance over his contemplation to leave Barcelona.
The move would see Messi re-uniting with Pep Guardiola again after his departure from Barca to Man. City.
