Marca are reporting that Manchester City are now turning their attention to Lionel Messi and could change their plans regarding Tottenham Hotspur striker Harry Kane.
What’s the story?
It is being reported by the Spanish publication that City manager Pep Guardiola had been planning to build his team around Kane and Jack Grealish.
The Premier League champions signed attacking midfielder Grealish from Aston Villa last night.
Now, City are/were expected to step up their interest in Tottenham striker Kane.
However, with Messi now being available, Premier League champions City are already ‘changing their plans and turning their attention’ to the Argentina international forward.
Barcelona announced last night that the 2021 Copa America winner is leaving for good.
Lionel Messi or Harry Kane?
Messi is 34 and Kane is 28, but if you had to choose between the two, you would pick the Argentine.
Every day of the week and twice on Sunday.
Messi is one of the greatest footballers of all time, and if City have even a small chance of bringing the Argentine to the Etihad Stadium, then they should do everything possible to make a deal happen.
Yes, the Argentine will cost a lot in salary, but he will be a free signing and remains at the top of his game despite being in his mid-30s.
