‘All the paths take him to Manchester City’ – This is a headline used on TyC Sports’ website today.
The Argentine TV Station was the first to say that Lionel Messi requested to leave Barcelona, and now point out that Pep Guardiola’s side are the most likely destination for him.
The story on their website is actually gathering claims from England and Spain regarding the contacts with the Premier League side, also features a few tweets from the club as if they were teasing with an announcement.
Still, this story was featured live on TV, where they’ve been discussing Messi’s future, and now say the player is ‘half a step’ before moving to Manchester City.

Meanwhile, RAC1 (via Mundo Deportivo) brings some details of Lionel Messi’s talks with Manchester City.
They say the player asked the club the guarantee that Pep Guardiola will stay in charge beyond his current contract, which expires in 2021.
There have been several claims that Messi has been in touch with the Catalan manager, so it’d be no surprise that he wants to be sure that he’ll be coached by him in England.
