Man City reportedly reawaken interest in Messi, set to battle PSG as PSG set to sell Mbappe to Real Madrid this summer in order to sign Messi
Manchester City have rekindled their interest in Lionel Messi, according to Manchester Evening News.
The Citizens are willing to meet Messi’s wage demands after news emerged of the icon leaving Barcelona.
Pep Guardiola’s Man City are one of the few clubs that have the financial capacity to pay Messi what he’s worth.
However, Man City will have to battle PSG for the 34-year-old as PSG are heavily interested in signing Messi this summer.
Man City recently spent €100m in signing Jack Grealish from Aston Villa. They’re still gunning to land Harry Kane from Tottenham, and now Lionel Messi.
