Barcelona legend Lionel Messi has reportedly been linked to Pep Guardiola’s Manchester City and Mauricio Pochettino’s Paris Saint-Germain ever since he handed in that transfer request during the summer transfer window of 2020. However, recent reports have suggested that the Argentine has made next to no contact with either of those clubs currently as his contract nears its end, according to Goal.

Reports suggest that the Argentine has not yet made any contact with either PSG or Manchester City despite being heavily linked with a move out of Barcelona with either of these clubs.
According to these particular sources, the 33-year-old is waiting for the season to end first and the transfer window to arrive before making a decision. The arrival of the summer transfer window of 2021 will reveal Messi’s final destination.
The 6 time Balon D’or winner is reportedly growing extremely tired of the constant media speculations linking the footballer to several European clubs. The 33-year-old playmaker is completely focused on the current season with Barcelona and is not bothered about his next move. Instead, the Argentine is waiting for the season to end in order to reveal a particular destination.
The Argentine is fed up with the constant assumptions being made about his possible destination if an exit on his behalf is to be made. Whether the 33-year-old playmaker will head to the Parc des Princes or the City of Manchester Stadium will be revealed only upon the arrival of the next transfer window which is in the summer of 2021.
Goal exclusively understands that the Barcelona legend has not even made contact with City so far despite the fact that his former coach is currently the team’s manager. It is possible that the player may remain at the Nou Camp and not make the move after all.
