Manchester City Fans have been reacting to a post on Twitter, which relays reports that claims Lionel Messi is now ‘closer‘ to the Etihad, than it is at Barcelona.
With the legendary forward out of contract at Barcelona at the end of the season, the Cityzens have been strongly linked with a potential move for him on a free transfer.
The Six-time Ballon d’Or winner is now free to talk to clubs outside Spain about a summer move, with Man City reportedly the most likely destination for the Argentine.
According to Argentine journalist Sergio González relayed by City Xtra on Wednesday night, the future of Lionel Messi now lies closer to Manchester City than it does to Barcelona.
The report claims that the Argentine forward has a ‘brutal anger’ after the 4-1 defeat to Paris Saint-Germain on Tuesday night.
The Argentinian scored but couldn’t help Barcelona from falling to a defeat to Paris Saint-Germain in the Champions League last-16.
In reaction to the report shared on Twitter by Man City Xtra and City Chief, many fans have have been expressing their thoughts and opinions.
