Messi joins Pep's Sky Blues!

Lionel Messi(30), has recently been getting more and more frustrated carrying FC Barcelona on his shoulders as Luis Suarez and Andrès Iniesta are out, injured. After Brazilian playmaker Neymar Jr.’s departure to PSG, Barça have signed players like Spurs reject, Paulinho(29), for €40 million from Chinese side Guangzhou Evergrande. Messi is “disappointed” with Barcelona’s signings this summer and says Barcelona’s record €150 million signing Ousmane Dembélé is “overrated” and cannot fill Neymar’s shoes.

Lionel may have just been “eager” to join Pep’s side earlier, but it got CONFIRMED when Man City placed a world-record fee of €500 million for Lionel Messi, as Nasser Al-Khelaifi, owner of PSG and City, continued to ruin the transfer market. Lionel Messi has reportedly agreed on a 5-year-contract with an optional contract extension of one year with the Sky Blues, earning a mind boggling £650,000 pounds per week. Lionel Messi claims his decision will be irreversible unless Barcelona sign Paulo Dybala(23) and that Barca get rid of players such as Andre Gomes(24) and Thomas Vermaelen(31) in order to increase his wages. If Barcelona are unable to meet his requests, Man City will get his signature and are reportedly going to present him on Saturday, and for once, they might have a filled Ethiad Stadium.
