Will Lionel Messi end up in Paris after leaving FCBarcelona? Will he be reunited with Pep Guardiola in the blue half of Manchester, or will he allow Ole to take the wheel for the last years of his career? | IOLsport CityOrPsg Messi
The Abu Dhabi controlled owners of City have deep pockets, though, and might see this as an opportunity that is too good to miss.Perhaps the most likely move abroad. One of the few clubs in world football who could afford his wages, PSG have been linked with moves for Messi ever since they were taken over by Qatari Sports Investments in 2011.
With fellow countryman Mauricio Pochettino at the helm of the Ligue 1 side, former team mate and close friend Neymar and the electric Kylian Mbappe as potential strike partners, Messi might well prove the missing piece of the jigsaw in their quest to finally win the Champions League.Some observers believe this announcement to be a major calling of La Liga's bluff from Barca.
They say the best player in the world will leave the league because of league-imposed constraints in a bid to get La Liga to loosen their financial fair play regulations to allow him to stay. If that is the case, it is a bold move, with league chief Javier Tebas having frequently criticised the club's financial situation and recently repeating that they need to drastically reduce their wage bill in order to retain Messi.
Whatever the outcome, it allows them to absolve themselves of responsibility in their fans' eyes over the whole situation.
