– As far as I know, Messi loves Barcelona. He loves the city, the club, its philosophy. If he had to leave Barça, perhaps he could move to City. They have money, and in the Premier League, to be honest, only a few clubs can afford such a transfer, – said Touré.
Also, the Ivorian expressed concern that the 33-year-old Argentine will be able to adapt to English football.
