Lionel Messi’s potential transfer to Manchester City could result in NYCFC move in future

Silly season just ramped up a bit.

In a blockbuster report from ESPN’s Rodrigo Faez and Moises Llorens, legendary footballer Lionel Messi could finally be moving out of Barcelona after 16 years to take on a new challenge. His purported destination — Premier League giants Manchester City.

But that’s not why we’re gathered here today. Oh no, it’s the reported clause that could come with that Man City contract. Which states that if Messi joins the Cityzens, he’ll also be joining none other than New York City FC after three Premier League seasons.
