Man City prepare world record £250M bid for unhappy Messi

-

Manchester City’s owners are ready to break the world transfer record for unsettled Barcelona star Lionel Messi.

The Manchester Evening News says City have been linked with a staggering £250m deal for Barcelona ace Lionel Messi.

The Argentinia­n is yet to sign a contract extension at the Nou Camp and reports in Spain suggest he could be tempted by a new challenge at the end of the season.

The 26-year-old has been at Barca for his whole career but this season has been a turbulent one for the Catalan club. They are struggling to cling on in the La Liga title race and this week were beaten by arch rivals Real Madrid in the Copa del Rey final.
