Transfer Update: Messi
24 November, 2020
With Lionel Messi still tipped to swap FC Barcelona for Pep Guardiola's Manchester City towards the end of the growing season, an update on his future in Spain has reportedly been revealed.
The 33-year-old is heavily associated with the Premier League giants, but that could all change once Barcelona's new president has been voted in.
That's according to Sique Rodríguez from Carrusel Deportivo, who has claimed that Messi will be happy to stay in the Camp Nou if Xavi Hernandez is brought in as manager.
Leading presidential prospect Victor Font has promised to bring the Spaniard in as first-team boss should he win the upcoming election, a approach that could see Messi stay in Spain.
It is explained that the six-period Ballon d'Or champion would extend his stick with the LaLiga giants beyond 2021 if his ex - teammate gets control, despite curiosity from Manchester City.
While there were contrasting reports about the English club's quest for Messi, it can appear they would even now consider signing him next time if he leaves the Blaugrana as a free of charge agent.
