Messi Agreement With Man City

Sinclair added an approach for Messi, the 33-year-old South American who can talk about pre-contract terms with his many candidates from January: “I can`t see things any other way. Messi has dragged himself on Barca`s side for the past 2-3 years in the EUROPA league. A meeting with Guardiola, under which Messi enjoyed his most successful days as a footballer, could help him return to the pinnacle of his career. Barcelona star Lionel Messi has signed a three-year contract at Manchester City, according to The Daily Record newspaper. And what better way to win the European Cup than to hire Messi – with Pep never claiming Ol`Big Ears without the Argentina ace on his team. It seems that the whole saga will be tried in court when the legal teams of both parties meet on the complicated details of the contract. But Messi already seems to be trying to find a lucrative new contract with Pep Guardiola`s Manchester City. Since then, Messi has taken the first step towards leaving the Camp Nou and City are closely monitoring developments, while acknowledging that any deal must be reached without violating UEFA`s financial fair play rules. Messi, however, hopes to put in place a clause that would allow him to leave for free. The clause has been included in his 2017 extension and stipulates that he can leave free of charge at the end of each season if he informs the club within a specified period of time. There was also a meeting between Barcelona and Messi`s father, who is also his agent on the player`s future, but the chances of 33-year-old superstar footballer make a turnaround of almost no appearance.

Messi has been arguing with Barca, claiming he is no longer their player after the end of his contract with an exit clause. The Argentinian wants to leave for nothing, but Barca want his release clause of 700 million euros to be paid for it. Pep has written a new two-year contract with City, who commit him until 2023, and he is planning what has always deprived him since winning the Champions League since taking office. City have the means to make a stunning deal, and Sinclair believes the Argentine icon will soon be reunited with former Barca boss Guardiola. The matter could be brought to court, although sources close to the deal expect it to be willing to reach an agreement on both sides if Messi passes with his threat to leave. “The report says that this contract is divided into two periods – three years with City in the Premier League and two years with the New York club in the MLS. Messi would earn 100 million euros per season before taxes at City, with a total contract of 750 million euros over five years. The rest of the sum will be the signing bonus of 250 million euros to reach New York. Lionel Messi`s change at Manchester City is “inevitable” now that Pep Guardiola has signed a new contract with the Blues, says Trevor Sinclair.

Messis` contract expires next summer and he could take on a preliminary contract with any club outside Spain from 1 January. The drama is in full swing, with Manchester City the favourites to land the Argentine superstar if she is allowed to leave Barcelona.
