- Manchester City will look to sign Leo Messi for free as the Argentine's contract at Barcelona expires next summer, Eurosport's Dean Jones claims. (h/t Mundo Deportivo)
- The Citizens will reportedly offer the Argentine to play at their franchise New York City after spending a few seasons in the Premier League.
- The same source claims that Messi is open to the idea as he'd like to live and play in the US.
- However, Mundo Deportivo report that Leo's future is not certain, he will wait to see who wins the elections at Barca before making a definitive decision.
- We rate this rumour 4 stars because, although Dean Jones is not the most trusted source, the story was initially reported by ESPN.
- Besides, playing for Man City and then moving to New York makes sense, with Frank Lampard following this exact path back in the day.
