According to the reliable journalist Marcelo Bechler, Lionel Messi wants to join Manchester City. The Argentine sees his departure as the end of a cycle, but certainly, one that hurts him.
Earlier, Marcelo was the first journalist to report that the 33-year-old was looking for a new club, specifically after the 8-2 disaster in Lisbon. He also was the first to report the departure of Neymar, who left the Catalan club for a record €222m transfer fee.
For the first time in Barcelona’s history, Lionel Messi has been very close to leaving the Catalan club. When we are talking about Messi, there are always rumors, but for the first time today they turn out to be real.
How president Bartomeu will react to the latest reports regarding the icon’s departure remains yet to be unknown, but fans are very clear about their demand: the resignation of the club chief.
