Manchester City 'targeting sensational double swoop of Erling Haaland AND Lionel Messi this summer' as Pep Guardiola 'remains keen on reuniting with Barcelona icon as well as finding Sergio Aguero's long-term replacement'

Manchester City reportedly still want to sign Lionel Messi and Erling Haaland this summer in what will be a sensational double transfer swoop.

City have long stood as favourites to sign Messi since he shocked the football world last summer and expressed his desire to leave Barcelona, before backing down after being faced with a legal battle over his contract.

Reports in Spain claimed that any move to the Etihad was no longer happening but according to The Sun, City remain intent on signing the iconic forward along with Haaland once the transfer window reopens at the end of the season.
