MESSI ODDS
Here are the figures about Lionel Messi’s next club after making a request to Barcelona.
COMET EL AOUAR
Juventus are leading the way to point out Arsenal striker Lyon Houssem Aouar.
The Gunners have the 22-year-old midfielder replacing Matteo Guendouzi.

IN SEARCH OF THE LOWER LION
Manchester City can point to Lionel Messi for FREE.
According to El Mundo journalist Francesc Aguilar, Ferran Soriano has “let Messi know that the club is able to finance the operation even if it is forced to pay a [fee]”.

City was left off guard in their attempt to win the Champions League last season and lacked concepts in a poor quarter-final loss to Lyon.
But replacing David Silva with one of the most important players in the history of the adjustment would be a blessing to Pep Guardiola.
FIFA: NO MESSAGE ABOUT

ENGLAND WAITS

WOLVES AT THE DOOR

MORNING FOOTBALL FANS
Where to start, with Lionel Messi.
The Argentine dropped a massive bomb at FC Barcelona last night when he showed that he intended to leave the club this summer.
Messi, 33, would be livid after his 8-2 humiliation against Bayern Munich in the Champions League.
And with new chief Ronald Koeman telling him at his first assembly that “the privileges are over,” Messi must verify to force his way out.
While Barca insisted on receiving his 631 million pound clause if he left, the player himself believes there is nothing he can do.
It is due to a clause in his contract that he must cancel his contract, if he decides to exercise it until the end of June.
And because the season didn’t end in time, Messi believes that the clause is still valid – and that yesterday he expressed his intentions.
Manchester City and Paris Saint-Germain are the top seeds to conclude this sensational deal, while Rio Ferdinand believes Chelsea is looking to start.
Frank Lampard and company have already been busy, Timo Werner and Hakim Ziyech have arrived in west London, and expenses do not stop there.

“They don’t have to be the bad guys at camp Nou.
Possibly this is at this time, as it actually turns out that the fault would be at Bartomeu’s door, as Messi can also rightly claim that he had no selection given the revolts at the nou camp, and was supported through Puyol and Suarez. on Twitter.’
MANC ON A MISSION
Brazilian journalist Marcelo Bechler says Messi has to play for Manchester City next season.
The journalist from Esporte Interativo, who first said Messi was looking to leave the club this summer, also said that the exit would hurt him, but understands that it is the end of a cycle.
