“At this point, we are not even thinking about getting Messi. By no means, ” he replied Guardiola according to the AP on question during Friday’s press conference.
Fifty-year-old Guardiola led Messi in Barcelona from 2008 to 2012, together they won the Champions League twice and won many more trophies. However, there will probably be no further cooperation between the two men. The City helmsman further said that he did not talk to Messi in person after the club announced that they had not agreed.
“It surprised everyone, including me. However, President Laporta has made this clear and understandable. I would like him to end his career in Barcelona, but there is nothing he can do. Anyway, I wish him all the best. “ added to the address of a 34-year-old Argentine.
The “Citizens”, owned by the royal family of Abu Dhabi, are among the clubs that could afford to get a Messi player. However, the club has already invested in new reinforcements, having won English representative Jack Grielisch from Aston Villa for a record British amount of £ 100 million.
