Man City confident in owning Lionel Messi's signature

Rumors that Man City wants to recruit superstar Lionel Messi (Barca) in the 2017 Summer transfer window are becoming more and more grounded as The Citizens' homepage has personally posted this information.

Accordingly, Man City's homepage said: "Man City is confident in owning Lionel Messi's signature. Marca newspaper confirmed that the Argentine striker has refused to renew his contract with Barca even though his contract is only until June 2018."

Meanwhile, journalist Stuart Brennan of Manchester Evening News revealed: "Messi has been contacted by Man City and he could arrive at Etihad next summer. Man City are confident they will lead the race for Messi if this player considers leaving Barca. Messi has made a decision for the future after the tax scandal with the tax authorities in Spain."

If this becomes true, this will be the most sensational transfer deal in history. It is not clear how much Man City will offer for Messi, but it is clear that Barca must pay special attention if they do not want to lose their number 1 star.
