Messi gives two conditions to join Man City, easy or difficult to meet?

Messi gave two conditions to Man City for him to agree to join the Etihad home team.

Lionel Messi caused a big shock in the summer of 2020 when he announced that he wanted to leave Barcelona, ​​partly due to the deteriorating performance of the club, partly because of conflicts with the management board and wanting to find a new stop to continue his ambition to conquer title. Barca eventually kept him, despite the fact that Messi did not want to get involved in litigation.

However, the Argentine superstar is still in the final year of his contract with Barca and the public is watching all his reactions. According to Bosman’s law, in January 2021, Messi could begin negotiations to find the next club after leaving Barca and that created a race to sign the person who had won the Ballon d’Or.

Man City is said to be the team that Messi will choose to join this summer if all goes well, and although the plan fails, it seems the two sides still keep in touch. Man City is still capable enough to make Messi agree to join and they are one of the big guys who can help Messi win a Champions League title before he retires.

However, compared to the summer of 2020, there will be many different things happening in the summer of 2021 and now Messi has started to give Man City conditions for him to agree to sign a contract. According to El Chiringuito channel in Argentina, Messi wants Man City in the 2021/22 season to continue to have Pep Guardiola lead and Sergio Aguero in the squad.

This will be a big problem for City. After this season, Guardiola will be out of contract with Man City and the two sides have not negotiated an extension, or rather Pep intends to break up with the club if he still does not realize the dream of the Cup for “The Citizens”. Pep himself talked about his future with the implication that he would judge himself worthy of continuing with Man City or not, because the club had invited him to sign an extension.

Meanwhile Sergio Aguero is 32 and next June he will turn 33, the Argentine striker is gradually being replaced in the Man City squad by Gabriel Jesus and has also talked about his aspirations leaving the club in free form to return to Argentina to play. Keeping Aguero will be more difficult than Pep for Man City, because Aguero’s peak years are not much and Pep may still want to stick for long.

Messi will only agree on Man City if both remain at Etihad, Pep is the most important teacher in Messi’s career and Aguero is his close teammate in Argentina, Leo hopes Aguero will help him. integrate faster in a new club and in a new country. Or if Aguero leaves, at least Man City must keep Guardiola.

Also through this move of Messi, perhaps everything will only be cleared up next summer. Messi will not commit to joining any club during the winter transfer window, he has nothing to hurry as he has time to observe the situation at the teams that offer him.
