Manchester City could have a glimer of hope of landing Lionel Messi after he stalled over a contract extension at Barcelona. The Argentina international earned his fifth Ballon d'Or title this year following a Champions League winning campaign with Barca last term.
The 28-year-old has spent his entire career at the Catalan giants netting over 450 goals and 200 assists in all competitions.
However, his future at Camp Nou has come into question after he refused to agree to terms over a new contract, The Sun claims.
It is added that the European champions were miles apart from finalizing a deal with the legendary marksman, and this could pave the way for City, who are willing to offer the player with wages in excess of £800,000-a-week.
Messi netted his 50th goal for his national side as they eased past Bolivia with a 2-0 scoreline in their 2018 World Cup qualifier.
