Manchester City fans have been reacting to a post on Twitter which relays a report that claims the club is looking to make a sensational swoop for PSG star Lionel Messi.
Despite reaching the latter stage of his career, Messi is showing no signs of slowing down. The Argentine has managed 23 goals and assists in just 16 games in all competitions, with PSG having an excellent chance of reaching the final stages of the Champions League.
There aren’t many better front threes than Messi, Neymar and Kylian Mbappe in world football, but the former is now attracting interest from the Premier League.
Messi is in the final year of his contract in Paris and is yet to make a decision on his future. Any decision from the 35-year-old will only come after the World Cup.
A report from Fichajes claims that both Chelsea and Manchester City are interested in signing the PSG star.
At 35, Messi is far from his prime and is nearing the end of his career. However, he continues to age like fine wine and the success as a playmaker could lengthen his career by a few years. He continues to pull strings in attack and still has admirers keen to sign him on.
The report shared on Twitter gathered a number of replies from a wide range of Man City supporters.

“If it’s just to boost Manchester City brand alone then we are good and it will also make a statement to the rest of the world that Manchester City is the real super super club that attracts top global superstar.”

“I’d love him and he’d do wonders under pep, but if barca call (after activating their 203rd economic lever) Messi will 100% go back, he loves them so much. Never say never though”
