The British newspaper "Mirror" threw a bombshell, by revealing a major project from Manchester City, to sign a contract with Lionel Messi.
After Barcelona's humiliating loss in the Champions League, against Bayern Munich, with a unique score of 8-2 goals, there were rumors about the departure of Lionel Messi, who had been knocked out in a shocking way from the Champions League in the last three seasons.
"Mirror," stated, on Sunday, that Manchester City is on the top of the teams, to sign Messi this summer, taking advantage of the administrative confusion in Barcelona that might push him to leave.
The newspaper indicated that the "Citizens" are ready to pay "whatever amount." to contract with Messi, and it is the closest team to contract with him, in case he decides to move.
The final decision remains in the hands of Barcelona's administration, which may decide to sell the Argentine star for a huge sum, to help them in the process of "rebuilding" the team again.
It is expected that the "Catalan Club" will witness many, administrative, training, and technical changes, to rebuild the team after the historic defeat on Friday evening.
It is worth to mention that Manchester City also has been knocked out of the Champions League, in a surprising way, at the hands of Lyon, in the quarter-finals on Saturday evening.
