Man City 'eye' Lionel Messi move to complete Pep Guardiola's 'dream attack' and other transfer rumours

Manchester City are reportedly interested in signing Argentine superstar Lionel Messi next summer.

The Paris Saint-Germain forward's contract in France is set to expire next summer, with reports suggesting he could seek pastures new. He has been linked with a return to former club Barcelona, but reports coming out of Spain now suggest La Blaugrana could face competition for his signature from City.

Fichajes reports that City have "always been interested in getting Messi's services in order to have a dream attack with Erling Haaland". The report adds that City boss Pep Guardiola, who worked with Messi at Barca, is a "key piece in convincing the Argentine to move to the Etihad Stadium".
