"Man City" did not try to acquire L. Messi © JumpStory

Last summer, following rumors about a possible departure of Lionel Messi from the Barcelona team, the main contender to attract the Argentine was considered to be the Manchester City club. At that time, the leader of Barcelona remained in the team, and discussions about the possible arrival of the footballer in Manchester were ongoing until now. Some sources even claimed that Man City had already started negotiations with Messi's representatives. However, a representative of the club revealed to "Sky Sports" that the Premier League leaders had no intentions of acquiring the Argentine in the summer, and they are not currently negotiating with his representatives. It is still widely debated whether L. Messi will stay in Barcelona next summer, and according to the media, his services are of great interest to Paris Saint-Germain.
