The COO of Manchester City, Omar Berrada, opened up opportunities for his team to bring in Lionel Messi in the 2020 summer transfer market. Omar Berrada said Man City would not waste the opportunity to get Lionel Messi who is listed as the world’s best player.
Lionel Messi’s contract with Barcelona will end on June 30, 2021. According to Barcelona fullback Sergio Roberto, La Pulga – the nickname Messi – once told him.
Lionel Messi told Sergi Roberto that 2020-2021 would be his last season for Barcelona. As of next season, Lionel Messi will no longer be in the uniform of Barcelona, the club he has defended for the last 20 years.
The conditions above allow Man City and other clubs to freely bring in Lionel Messi. Because Lionel Messi is not under a contract with any club so he can be brought in on a free transfer in the summer of 2021.
“If Messi leaves Barcelona, then we will explore that option (to sign Messi). We will consider the options for signing Messi. Messi is the best player in the world, so I think any club will be happy to have a player like Messi, “said Omar Berrada, quoting The Sun, Sunday (11/10/2020).
“It’s very interesting to hear all the speculation about Messi wanting to come to Manchester City. It is proof this club has grown a lot. The world’s top players want to come and play for Pep Guardiola’s team, ”continued Omar Berrada.
The presence of Lionel Messi automatically made the current Man City coach, Josep Guardiola, at the Etihad Stadium. Until now, there has been no word about Guardiola’s contract extension. Even though on June 30, 2021, Guardiola’s contract with Manchester Blue ended.
Guardiola has handled Man City for four seasons. While 2020-2021, will be Guardiola’s fifth season in service with Manchester Blue.
So far, Guardiola has produced two Premier League trophies for Man City. It’s just that the title that Man City’s management coveted, namely the Champions League trophy, has never been won by the 49-year-old coach.
However, it is believed that Messi’s presence in the summer of 2021 will make Guardiola’s work easier. In the end, the presence of the Big Ear trophy at the Etihad Stadium was only a matter of time.
