City on Messi alert: Manchester City are the latest club to be linked with an audacious move for Barcelona superstar Lionel Messi. Rumours linking Messi with Chelsea began circulating on Monday night after the Argentina forward started following the West London club having failed to turn up for training. And now the Manchester Evening News reports that “City could step up their ambitious attempt to sign Lionel Messi after Barcelona sacked technical director Andoni Zubizarreta.” Paper Round’s view: Although this seems completely crazy, it perhaps isn’t so far-fetched as the rumours linking Cristiano Ronaldo with a return to Manchester United . Barca recently sacked technical director Antonio Zubizarreta, Carlos Puyol resigned as a consequence and Luis Enrique did bench Messi against Real Sociedad. It hints at turmoil within the club. But Messi follows both Chelsea and Man City on Instagram and Barca really can’t afford to lose their star player with their transfer suspension.
