Manchester City lad bitter rivals Man Utd in the
race to sign Barcelona superstar Lionel Messi after the player last week
rejected Barcelona's new contract offer.
Messi refused Barcelona's offer after seeing that it's not as good as he
wanted it to be, compared to the one recently given to his rival Cristiano
Ronaldo at Real Madrid.
Man City have now upped their attempts to sign the very talented
forward.
According to the Sun UK, Man U were confident of signing Messi, seeing
that he is even an Adidas ambassador as Adidas sponsors the club too, but Man
City have strengthened talks with Messi's team to try to sign him if he were to
ever consider leaving Barcelona.
The report reads: 'Man United have admitted defeat and believe bitter
rivals City would be favorites to sign Lionel Messi if he was to leave
Barcelona.
An Old Trafford source said: “City would be the favorites if he were to
one day leave, but we would obviously love the sign a player of that level. We
can certainly compete on the cash front and Messi is an Adidas player like Paul
Pogba, so we have our pluses.''
