"The 'Man City' team, constantly thinking about strengthening the team, plans to implement a plan to buy the leader of 'Barcelona', Lionel Messi.
English grand clubs happily welcomed the news of the 29-year-old Argentine's refusal to sign a new contract with the Catalans and are making plans to submit such a financial offer that the striker will only have to help with his signature.
It is reported that L. Messi would receive as much as 500 thousand pounds sterling per week in the 'city' team.
The 'Barcelona' team itself would receive a compensation of 200 million pounds sterling.
This season, L. Messi scored 8 goals in 9 'La Liga' matches."
