‘Man City would be the best place for Messi’ – Zabaleta admits Barcelona star isn’t enjoying his football

Manchester City would be “the best place” for Lionel Messi if he decides to take on a Premier League adventure, says Pablo Zabaleta, with the Argentine superstar considered to have lost his love for football at Barcelona.

The six-time Ballon d’Or winner made one push for the exits at Camp Nou over the summer after growing disillusioned with life on and off the field in Catalunya.

Barca moved to block his path, leading the 33-year-old to reveal in an exclusive interview with Goal that he will be honouring the final year of his contract.
