To prove himself
Lionel Messi arguably has nothing to prove to anybody, but a lot has been made about his lack of success outside of Barcelona. Certain fans argue that while a certain rival has managed to become successful wherever he goes, the 33-year-old Messi has been at Catalonia all his life and even failed to do a good job with an exquisite national side
Messi may want to give it a shot at proving his individual credentials in another league. Should he sign for a Premier League team like Manchester City, he would have the perfect atmosphere to show what he has in store. With a team similar to Barca in terms of playing style in the world’s most difficult league, it may be interesting to see how it pans out.
