After being eliminated from the Champions League, Messi has decided?
According to Argentina's domestic media, since the Champions League knockout round, Grand Paris was eliminated by Bayern Munich, Messi has been determined to leave Grand Paris. Mainly based on two reasons: one is that Messi is very disappointed with the performance of Grand Paris in the Champions League, and the other is that the request to reduce Messi's salary in the renewal of Grand Paris' contract is unacceptable to Messi's team.
Manchester City are cleaning up players to welcome Messi
The media outlet also said Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola has shown keen interest in bringing Messi under his wing. However, with Messi's salary level very high, Manchester City now needs to choose between financial balance. To welcome Messi, City had to let some players go.
According to reports, the option to make way for Messi could be German player Gundogan. Gundogan is currently earning €10 million a year at Manchester City, and his contract with the club is also in June 2023, which is very consistent with the contract time of Messi and Paris Saint-Germain. But an annual salary of 10 million euros is obviously not enough to pay Messi's high salary. To that end, City have another option.
Grand Paris buys Haaland for 200 million euros
According to French media "RMC Sport", Paris Saint-Germain is currently in contact with Manchester City's Haaland, and Paris is willing to bid 200 million euros to recruit "Majin". If the deal goes through, City will have enough money to sign Messi. So as to achieve the joy of Manchester City, Greater Paris and Messi.
Based on the information from all parties, it is not difficult to see that Manchester City is now very close to getting Messi. Although Messi has not yet replied on where to go, it is not difficult to see the following:
First, Messi is not willing to reluctantly stay in Greater Paris on the premise of a salary cut.
Second, Messi said he would continue to play in Europe's top league for at least one year, excluding some teams from Miami International and Saudi Arabia.
Third, Barca are currently in a deep financial crisis and do not have enough funds to sign Messi.
Then, if Manchester City really have the intention to transfer Haaland to Paris, then Messi must be likely to play in the Premier League with the "Blue Moon" team. What do you think about this? Welcome to leave your valuable comments in the comment area, thank you!
