Manchester City lad bitter rivals Man Utd in
the race to sign Barcelona superstar Lionel
Messi after the player last week rejected
Barcelona's new contract offer.
Messi refused Barcelona's offer after seeing
that it's not as good as he wanted it to be,
compared to the one recently given to his rival
Cristiano Ronaldo at Real Madrid.
Man City have now upped their attempts to
sign the very talented forward.
According to the Sun UK, Man U were
confident of signing Messi, seeing that he is
even an Adidas ambassador as Adidas
sponsors the club too, but Man City have
strengthened talks with Messi's team to try to
sign him if he were to ever consider leaving
Barcelona.
The report reads: 'Man United have admitted
defeat and believe bitter rivals City would be
favorites to sign Lionel Messi if he was to
leave Barcelona.
An Old Trafford source said: “City would be
the favorites if he were to one day leave, but
we would obviously love the sign a player of
that level. We can certainly compete on the
cash front and Messi is an Adidas player like
Paul Pogba, so we have our pluses
