Lionel Messi's stance on a potential Premier League move becomes clear as PSG exit confirmed

Lionel Messi's previous remarks regarding a potential move to the Premier League have resurfaced following the announcement of his departure from Paris Saint-Germain.

However, it appears that England is not on the cards for him this summer, as Messi had previously stated that he couldn't envision himself playing there. When asked about the possibility of a move to England back in 2010, Messi promptly rejected the idea.

"I don't even think about that. Barcelona is my life, they have brought me to where I am today and I could not leave," the Argentinian said. I don't want to leave. I know the Premier League is very good and I watch the matches on TV when I get the chance."

"I admire the strength of the players, it is very English - they play to the end, with a lot of spirit and determination, and the fans are very good and fair."

"But for me, I cannot see myself playing in England because my heart is with Barcelona, always. They are a great club - I love the club, the people, everything."

There were strong rumours linking Messi with a move to Manchester City in 2021 to reunite with his former coach Pep Guardiola. However, the timing did not align for them as Guardiola chose to sign Jack Grealish, while Messi ended up joining forces with Neymar instead.
