Manchester City are emerging as the favoured destination for released Barcelona superstar Leo Messi.

The Daily Mail says Messi has his heart set on a reunion with Pep Guardiola at Manchester City over an 'impossible-looking' switch to PSG, according to reports in Spain.

However, the Premier League champions are unlikely to be signing him.

The Argentine is now searching for a new club after Barcelona made the shock announcement that he would not be re-signing with them – despite the Catalan club claiming a long-term deal, albeit on lower pay terms, had been agreed.

The 34-year-old has been a free agent since July 1 when his contract expired at the at the club and, with an extension no longer possible, Messi must start to prepare for life away from the Nou Camp.
