Manchester City may have stepped up another transfer coup of the summer, with the Daily Record claiming that club officials met with Lionel Messi's representatives last week to discuss a possible move.
Messi had appeared to commit his long-term future to Barcelona when he signed a new contract in July, but the Record's report claims that he is now growing disillusioned with life in Catalonia and was frustrated by the sale of Neymar to Paris Saint-Germain earlier this month.
The club is hopeful that the prospect of reuniting Messi with his former manager Pep Guardiola could help convince the Argentine to make the move for a what would be a world record transfer fee.
Barcelona could also be hit by the departure of club legend Andres Iniesta, who has admitted that he is yet to sign an extension to his contract, which expires next summer.
