The Manchester City was the big favourite to carry to Leo Messi the past summer. The English were very pending of the Argentinian and even were had to negotiate by him by a reasonable price when the 'crack' announced his course. The '10' wanted to that the Barcelona left him go out free or that at least negotiated his exit, but Josep Maria Bartomeu denied to leave him leave by less than his clause of rescission.
At the end, the 'cityzens' withdrew of the bidding and the forward had to remain in the FC Barcelona. Now, months after all it sucedido, the attacker is free to negotiate with the team that want his arrival from June. The international albiceleste finishes agreement and unless the next president of the Barça avoid it and achieve to convince him that it remain , will go to cost zero when it finalise the present campaign.
In these moments, Paris Saint-Germain seems more near of Leo that any another team, although the City neither much less has forgotten of him. The British, nevertheless, as they informed from England this past Thursday, would have gone down his offer by him. In summer, seems that they offered an agreement of some 700 million pounds, whereas now they would offer some 500, 200 less.
In this supposed proposal, would offer an agreement of two years to play in the Etihad and other two in the New York City of the MLS. I read always it has said that it would like him can live in United States, by what would be an interesting proposition in spite of the descent. However, sources of the English team have denied this information of the newspaper 'The Sun' and have left clear that there has not been any offer still.
The denied of the City could be a curtain of smoke
It will be necessary to see if this is a simple movement for no desestabilizar to the group, since the ones of Manchester are right now in an ideal position to win it all this campaign. In the Premier League go leaders stood out, in Champions League east can be his year and, in general, are playing the best football of Europe. By all this, that the staff enterara of a proposal like this, could be contraproducente.
Only the time will say if it finishes confirming or no this approach and this supposed descent of wage. This, by the way, would be due to the economic situation that live all the clubs of the world by fault of the pandemia. Although the City has more money that the majority and is not suffering too much, also will notice the crisis and could not wanting to spend so much money in a footballer of 33 years.
