Messi refused
Barcelona's offer after seeing that it's not as good as he wanted it to be, compared to the one
recently given to his rival Cristiano Ronaldo at Real Madrid.
Man
City have now upped their attempts to sign the very talented forward.
According
to the Sun UK, Man U were confident of signing Messi, seeing that he is
even an Adidas ambassador as Adidas sponsors the club too, but Man City
have strengthened talks with Messi's team to try to sign him if he were
to ever consider leaving Barcelona.
The
report reads: 'Man United have admitted defeat and believe bitter rivals
City would be favorites to sign Lionel Messi if he was to leave
Barcelona.
An Old Trafford source said: “City
would be the favorites if he were to one day leave, but we would
obviously love the sign a player of that level. We can certainly compete
on the cash front and Messi is an Adidas player like Paul Pogba, so we
have our pluses.''
