That’s just sad. I feel like this boy… 
I will continue to hope against all odds. 
I personally think Messi should play in Premier League to play competitive football rather than playing at PSG with Neymar and Mbappe who already are sufficient to secure their position in Ligue 1.
I still hope Man City to pull this off. Man City is a cash rich club, owned (majority stake) by Sheikh Mansour bin Zayed al-Nahyan, a member of the Abu Dhabi ruling family- one of football’s wealthiest owner.
CITY Football Group, the Abu Dhabi group that owns Manchester City had raised $650 million in July 2021 and are looking to step up their global expansion plans. I think, getting Messi onboard will boost their global plans and will perfectly fit in their global vision.
Sheikh Mansour bin Zayed Al Nahyan’s investments in the club since 2008– of more than US$1.6 billion over the first decade alone – projected a novel form of soft power on the world stage, but only made minor dents in his fortune, estimated at more than US$30 billion.
Al Nahyan’s long-term and rather more restrained plans for the club have been praised-
“He pledged to bring success on the field and to nurture young talent whilst at the same time remaining proudly rooted to the community in which it resided.
“The cornerstone of the future, was a vision for youth development and sustainability; a vision to educate talented young footballers on and off the pitch and to do so in a facility supported by the best coaches and coaching programmes.
