Leo Messi has become the main protagonist of the summer. The possible departure of the Argentine crack has Barça fans on edge. Many European clubs are attentive to what happens in the legal battle between 10 and Barcelona, although there is one in particular that is one step ahead of the rest. Manchester City is the best placed to take over their services and would already be preparing the money to sign the contract, the operation would have a total cost of 750 million euros, according to the newspaper Sport. Upon his arrival, the Argentine would sign for five seasons, of which three he would play in the Premier League team and from 2023-24 he would head to the United States to play for City’s MLS affiliate, New York City, as reported by ESPN. During the five years they will pay a total of 500 million, of which almost half would go to Messi since between taxes and salaries, City would cost 100 million euros a year to support the Argentine. The remaining 250 million euros would be in concept of transfer premium for the still Barcelona player, in case he arrived free at the English club. The only drawback is that this would mean breaking the financial Fair Play, so this amount would be postponed until the 2023-2024 season when it can be included as a transfer between New York City and Manchester City and thus evade the financial Fair Play rules imposed by the UEFA, and that they have been about to cost him his presence in the next edition of the Champions League.
