Manchester City chiefs are convinced they can bring
Barcelona superstar Lionel Messi to England.
The Sunday Mirror says City will break the bank to sign
Messi.
The Etihad club are putting together a stunning financial
package in excess of £200million in a bid to land
Barcelona's unsettled Argentine ace next summer.
City bosses are drawing up a plan that will see them pay
Barca a world-record transfer fee in excess of £100m as
well as handing Messi a basic wage of £500,000-a-week.
The Blues believed that their appointment of Messi's former
Barca boss Pep Guardiola as manager last summer would
put them in pole position to sign the player should be ever
decide to leave the Nou Camp.
And that confidence has now exploded following the Spanish
champions' failure to convince the 29-year-old to sign a
new contract.
Paris Saint-Germain, Roman Abramovich's Chelsea and
United would also be in the mix for Messi, while clubs in the
cash-rich Chinese League could offer the forward an even
bigger fortune than he could pick up in Europe.
