‘Shirt sales will cover £200m Messi deal for Man City’ – Mills wonders whether Argentine wants to leave Barcelona

Manchester City would have no problem spending £200 million ($264m) on Lionel Messi as shirt sales would cover the Argentine’s wages in England, says Danny Mills, with the only question being whether an all-time great wants to swap Catalunya for Lancashire.

The Etihad Stadium is being mooted as a possible landing spot for a player mulling over his options at Camp Nou.

Messi, amid concerns regarding the direction in which Barcelona are heading, is said to have made the decision that he wants to leave the only club he has represented in his senior career to date.
