Once again, reports intensify and there is much talk about the possibility of the departure of Argentine star Lionel Messi from his team Barcelona, with several clubs ready to pay tens of millions to sign the "Bulga", led by Manchester City and Juventus.
"The Citizens" may have the advantage to include the Argentine magician, due to the presence of Spaniard Pep Guardiola at the head of the technical staff of the English team, according to Brazilian Rivaldo, the former star of Barca.
The Catalan radio "Cadena Ser" claimed that Messi had suspended negotiations to renew his contract, which ends in the summer of 2021, and that he was on his way to leave the "Camp Nou" after accumulated problems and differences between the Barca captain and the team management.
Rivaldo continues that Messi is able to play in the Premier League, stressing that if he "decides to leave Barca, this means that there are not good things in the locker rooms, and that he is tired of the problems accumulated around him in the past few months."
He explained - in a media interview - that "when Messi's contract expires, he is 34 years old, but his talent and capabilities allow him to easily play and compete with the Premier League, and despite his emotional relationship with Barca, he is entitled to leave and return to play under the management of Guardiola in Man City, who formed an amazing bilateral in Barcelona".
In the same topic, Argentine journalist Christian Martin tweeted that Man City wanted to sign Messi at any cost, and added, "The latest news, the possibility of Messi moving to Manchester City is real, I confirm this from my sources in Catalonia and England."
As for the other team interested in annexing Messi, it might be Juventus to fulfill the dream of hundreds of millions around the world to see Messi and Portuguese star Cristiano Ronaldo play together in the same team.
About this dream, Rivaldo says, "These expectations make the salaries of business agents dreaming about this day and what its implications will be for the world of football."
"In the event that this happens, a positive spurt will happen, and I am sure Juventus will make up for any money that Messi pays in a short period, because it will be historic and unprecedented to see players of this size in the same team, and I am confident that the Italian team sponsors will help financially to bring Messi to Turin. "
He concluded, "If he decides to leave, the teams will try and plan to join him in any way. The best players in the world in the last 10 years together in Juventus means that we are facing a dream."
