By all accounts, Lionel Messi's next team will be Manchester City. A reunion with Pep Guardiola and joining the dream roster of the English runner-up may ignite the imagination, but not the whole kingdom is convinced that this is a tie-breaker.

"I wish Messi would get to the Premier League," Sky Sports commentator Jamie Krager said. "I want to see him and interpret him. The only place he can get to is City, because of his history with the manager. I do not think Liverpool can even get close to him financially, and also because of the way they play. They are much more energetic than City, who play a game. More technical that will suit Messi. "

What will the move of the flea do to the championship race? According to Krager, "he will improve City, but will not make them invincible. Barcelona have not won the Champions League for several years. Liverpool have ousted them, so that means nothing. It just means that for all of us, it will be great to see Leo in England. Fingers that it will happen. "

Gary Neville added: "If he comes, I think it will work with Pep. At the moment he is doing muscle, the thought that he will not finish his career at Barcelona still does not make sense to me."

Another former player, Paul Merson, sounds a little less optimistic about Flea's success in the English runners-up: "He is no longer the best player in the world. It is a huge risk for any team you want to sign him, because he gets so much money and is never at his peak. Never. "I saw something like this, he just walks around the stadium waiting for the ball to reach him. He looks like a kid who went to a football class and doesn't want to be there. It's amazing. When he gets the ball he's still doing amazing things with it, but he's not the Messi for four or five years." .

But Merson did not stop there. "A few years ago, any team would turn to Barcelona. Manchester United can afford to buy him, because of the amount of shirts they will sell. Of course City too. But is he worth it? You have to completely change your team to suit him, the salary would be great, I think he'd have trouble finding a group that is so expensive. and you pay for someone who is at the end of his career, no doubt about it. There was a lot more.

"If he goes to City, and players like de Brown & sterling tear the ass and No, will it not cause unrest? Is he really willing to invest everything he has in the game? I do not see it. I wonder if this is not a power struggle and he wants to stay at all. "
