REPORT: Man City No Longer Looking To Sign Messi
Lionel Messi is linked with a move from Barcelona, but Manchester City are apparently out of the running.
Manchester City will not try to sign Barcelona star Lionel Messi, Spanish football expert Semra Hunter told Sky Sports News.
The report says Messi's age and wage demands are a major reason the Premier League giants will not pursue him.
Messi, a six-time Ballon d'Or winner, is out of contract at the end of the season.
The Argentina international handed in a transfer request at the start of the season and was tipped to reunite with former Barca coach Pep Guardiola before instead opting to remain at Camp Nou.
