Pep Guardiola and Lionel Messi spoke last week about City transfer - report
Lionel Messi spoke with Pep Guardiola on the phone last week to discuss a potential transfer to Manchester City, according to ESPN.
It’s reported that City always deemed the transfer impossible but are now more optimistic following Messi’s bombshell decision and his conversation with former boss Guardiola.
The report adds that City executives have also spoken to Messi’s representatives recently and were aware about his discontent at the Camp Nou, but now they will have to decide if they can make the deal happen without infringing upon Financial Fair Play rules - though the have been loosened this year due to the coronavirus pandemic.
It remains to be seen, if Messi does leave, if he will be available on a free or if his massive release clause will have to be met.
