Lionel Messi's father 'is already in England negotiating a two-year deal with Manchester City' after the Argentine star told Barcelona he wants out
Lionel Messi's father is reportedly in England discussing terms with Manchester City for the Argentine playmaker.Â
Â
This comes a day after the six-time Ballon d'Or winner informed the club that he does not want to continue under new coach Ronald Koeman following Barcelona's embarrassing 8-2 defeat to Bayern Munich in the Champions League and disappointing season in Spain which resulted in no trophies.Â
Â
According to RAC1 and TyC Sports, Jorge Messi has already touched down in Manchester to discuss terms with the Premier League side. Â
Â
The reports say that the player's father who is also his agent is discussing a two-year deal with City, despite a reported disagreement between Barcelona and Lionel Messi over his ÂŁ630million release clause at the club.Â
Â
Â
Before Messi made his decision to leave the club, he held crunch talks with new coach Ronald Koeman following the Dutchman's appointment as Quique Setien's replacement last week.
Â
In their discussions, Messi made his decision clear to leave the club while the new manager told him his "privileges" were over.
Â
Messi, whose deal runs out in 2021, believes a clause in his contract means he can leave as a free agent this summer. But Barcelona are insisting that the clause expired in June, which would mean either Messi or City would have to pay his £630million release clause at the club.
Â
A move to Manchester City would see Messi reunite with ex-Barcelona coach Guardiola in England.Â
Â
During his illustrious playing career at the Camp Nou, Messi won an astonishing 10 La Liga titles, six Copa del Reys, seven Spanish Super Cups, and four Champions League.
