Premier League champions English Manchester City last season
Still hopes to persuade the Spanish club Barcelona to abandon its star Lionel
Messi during the ongoing summer transfer window, and join the ranks of "Citizens"
from the new season 2014/2015.
The English newspaper "Daily Mail" in a lengthy
report on the summer transfer window has mentioned that the owners of
Manchester City, are willing to pay the value of the penalty clause in the
contract of Lionel Messi with Barca, the $ 200 million pounds.
It added that the management of the City, will succeed in
refund money deal from the proceeds of sale of T-shirts player winning the best
player in the world during the period from 2009 to 2012, and also in agreement
with the corporate sponsors of the club, to end a series of negotiations that
lasted months to contract with Lionel Messi.
The English paper said that the deal is facing some
difficulties, especially as the Argentine star signed a new contract with
Barcelona, rose by his annual salary to 16.3 million pounds, in addition to
chasing the regulations of the International Federation of Football
"FIFA" for Manchester City because of the expenses prohibitive in the
transfer market, making an impact on world prices for players.
It is worth note that Messi will play today with his
national team Argentina in front of Germany the final of the World Cup Brazil
and if he succeeded in winning the title his stocks will raise more and thus
many teams would run to sign with him like PSG and Bayern Munich under the
leading of Guardiola , and also Real Madrid .
