While Messi’s loyalty to Barcelona is widely known, his father and agent, Jorge Messi, is allegedly seeking a new contract for his son. This development is poised to capture headlines in the English tabloids in the near future. According to El Confidencial, Manchester City has initiated discussions with Jorge Messi, expressing a keen interest in triggering Lionel’s release clause, currently set at €200 million.
Moreover, the report suggests that Messi may be growing disillusioned with life at Camp Nou, with indications of him distancing himself from his teammates. In addition to the colossal transfer fee, Manchester City is rumored to be ready to offer Messi a lucrative contract worth approximately €25 million per season, further adding to the allure of the potential move.
