Pep Guardiola talked to Lionel Messi!

Manchester City may be the new stop for Lionel Messi who wants to leave Barcelona.

Barcelona's Argentine star Lionel Messi had an earthquake effect in the football world when he informed the management that he wanted to leave the team with a written document he sent.

While it was rumored that Messi's request caused cracks in the club management and that even President Josep Maria Bartomeu could resign after the pressure, the transfer rumors started to grow stronger.

In the news in The Athletic, it was stated that Manchester City coach Pep Guardiola talked to the star football player, who was his former student, and said that he wanted to see him in the squad if he left Barcelona this summer.

It was also noted in the report that Manchester City is determined not to pay a fee for the 33-year-old player and the transfer can only take place if Messi can terminate his contract.

It is known that the close relationship between Guardiola and Messi, who worked together in Barcelona between 2008 and 2012, continued in the same way after the experienced coach left Spain.
