According to The Mirror, the Catalans want to receive € 280 million for Messi's transfer. In addition, an option is being considered in which Messi can be exchanged for some City players, but the British will still have to pay € 134 million.
Before that, there was information that Messi decided to leave the blue garnet camp, and Manchester City is the main contender for him.
The 33-year-old striker is a graduate of Barcelona; the Argentinian made his debut for the main team in October 2004. Since then, he has played 731 appearances for the Spanish club in all competitions, having chalked up 634 goals and 285 assists.
Earlier it was reported that the clause in Messi's contract on compensation of € 700 million is invalid.
