"Yahoo": "Man City" will try to buy L. Messi

Soon closing player transfer window may be marked by yet another unbelievable event.

Yahoo Sport France journalist Romain Collet-Gaudin announced a stunning news that Manchester City club with coach Josep Guardiola at the helm will try to improve the recently reached world record and buy Barcelona leader Lionel Messi.

The 30-year-old Argentinian has not yet extended his contract with the Catalans, and in his current contract there is a buyout clause of 300 million euros.

That's exactly how much money the "Cityzens" are willing to offer. Rumors were further fueled by the fact that the athlete began to show interest in Manchester City matters and has become a follower of the club's Instagram account.

If this incredible deal happens, the recently set world record will be greatly improved, when PSG team from the same Barcelona team bought forward Neymar for 222 million euros.
