Manchester City targets Barcelona midfielder in rumored transfer transfer rumour

The rumor of Manchester City's interest in Barcelona midfielder Lionel Messi has been circulating for some time now, and it is expected to fuel the transfer market in the upcoming months. The Spanish giants have been linked with a move for the Argentine star, who is currently on loan at Real Madrid.

According to reports, the deal could be worth millions of pounds, and the club is reportedly willing to pay as much as €150 million (around $184 million) for the services of the 27-year-old forward. However, there are concerns that Manchester City may not be able to offer him a contract that would allow them to match his value.

In addition to Messi, there is also speculation that other players from the Barca squad could also be targeted by the city. According to sources, the Catalan club has been monitoring the progress of several potential replacements for Messi, including Lionel Messi Jr., who is set to become the new captain of the team next season.

Despite these rumors, there are no official details about the specific target player that Manchester City is interested in. It remains to be seen whether they will make a move or not, but one thing is certain: the transfer market is already buzzing with anticipation, and we can expect to see more headlines and rumors emerge soon.
