Yeah he is following City... but he's also following Chelsea too.

Don't shoot the messenger! Hence the use of the word 'suggestion'.
So their intention is to play Coutinho wide?
#ManchesterCity going to buy #Messi, #ManCity is ready to pay the 300 M clause € !
If they lose both Neymar and Messi in the same window, they will be pretty much finished for half a decade. Coutinho isn't anywhere near their class, not even close.
Yep. Levy is a wanker.
Can we please get some news to kill these Messi claims? Would be horrific to see that. The greatest player ever arguably signing for... City. Excuse me while I'm sick everywhere.
No way Barca will lose both Messi and Neymar. Their fans would want Bartomeu's head on a plate. 100% a pipe dream.
Didn´t they set a deadline for Coutinho yesterday, and now they consider another bid. Are they trying to become HSV South?
Wont happen but if there is a buyout clause there is nothing they could do about it is there?
Messi himself won't leave, as it would mean he will tarnish his image and rapport with the fans. He values his Barca legacy. Maybe he will leave in another 3-4 years, but not now, though he will likely make occasional threats to up his salary.
What an amazing attitude! You deplore a club chair for successfully keeping the wage bill down, even though at the same time the same strong first XI has been mostly kept together, contract renewals have continued to be signed and the club continues to attract talented players.
Do you think he should pay out more just the hell of it?
If we're not all over this we need a swift kick in the cnut!
Also, didn't Glaston say they were all happy
Same place as PSG found the money to sign Neymar, they don't give a crap about FFP.
The real question is, does he want to be second best in Spain or 3rd or 4th best in England?
I get the feeling the news is only breaking because Chelsea are playing Spurs today. It seems more like Castles is still on Chelsea's payroll to unsettle Spurs players.If we're not all over this we need a swift kick in the cnut!

Nah, some people actually like McDonalds.
PSG did not already spend 200mn before buying Neymar. FFP is toothless but it is not this dead that it will allow city to spend more than what any club in football earns.
So City have already spent over £200m and now are gonna spend an extra £300m in 1 window? FFP, eh?
The strange part about paying £300m for Messi is he will be worth every penny for them. He will put them on the map because of his name and will probably win them a CL, again bigging up their name in football.
Even with Pep they're still irrelevant but this could reshape their history. Time to see how loyal Messi really is.

Weren't there reports about Messi and Pep not getting on? Particularly in that last season where Pep seemed to fall apart and need a year off?
Links between Messi and City seem like lazy hacks putting things together because of Pep, but if they did fall-out then that would make it even more ridiculous.

I cannot see Barca being happy with Messi leaving. Plus €300m is a hell of a lot of money. I cannot see it materialising this late in the window.
Things go fast in football, Messi isn't daft, he would ask for world class players to replace Neymar and Iniesta but if they don't come, he will choose to leave.
Neither can I. Just sensationalist rubbish.
City aren't buying Messi lol. Yahoo France and talk sport, come on.
I initially liked a the idea of the transfer window closing earlier, until it was suggested that it would apply to purchases only.
Yay, let's lose players without being able to replace them. Who comes up with these ideas… this one is beyond stupid.

You've put your neck on the line there mate!
We're bringing Ronaldo back according to gmail.
Once you've over doubled the last transfer record, anything can now happen. Remember when we saw the figures for a players buy out and think it was ridiculous....we'll think again. Messi 300m, I can def see it happening....
Wait till you hear The thunderbird headline!
Just love the idea of Barca being torn apart. Their remaining top stars will all be retired in a few years anyway, just hope it happens sooner rather than later
Wonder where Iniesta would go? Would be strange to see him in another team's shirt and especially horrible if it's a City one.
Their revival coincided when they gazumped us to Ronaldinho. Before TBA they were like Milan (over the last few years). Hope something similar happens to Real.
Couldn't see a 33 year old Iniesta cutting it in a Premier League midfield
A 45 year old Iniesta could boss PL midfields.
