Manchester City are considered favorites to sign Lionel Messi. A club legend would like the Sky Blues to win the contract and bring the six-time world footballer to the Etihad Stadium.
Vincent Kompany had played for Manchester City for eleven years and did so well that he will receive a statue at the stadium before returning to his training club RSC Anderlecht last summer. The Belgian still feels connected to the Sky Blues.
As a City fan, the club legend hopes the rumors will come true and Lionel Messi will relocate to Manchester. “As a City fan, I hope Messi will come,” Kompany said.
In sports, Messi has no doubts: “It would be incredible if the club had a player like him. He could help them take the next step and win the Champions League.”

Lionel Messi is said to have told FC Barcelona that he wanted to leave. But sporting director Ramon Planes said they wanted to build a team around Messi and not give up on him.
Gabriel Jesús, Bernardo Silva and Eric García in exchange for Barcelona?
Manchester City are considered favorites in the race for Messi. Also due to the financial resources of the Sheikh Club. But an obligation would have to be consistent with financial fair play. ManCity just skipped a Champions League ban due to inconsistencies with UEFA requirements.
According to SPORT, therefore, there could be an exchange agreement. Center forward Gabriel Jesús (23), whom Barcelona wanted in 2016, central defender Eric García (19, Barça have wanted him for months) and winger Bernardo Silva could be traded as a trio for Messi. In addition, 100 million euros could flow to Barcelona.
