Toure Yaya and Sergio Aguero urge Lionel Messi to join Manchester City

Manchester City stars Toure Yaya and Sergio Aguero want Barcelona star Lionel Messi to join Manchester City. The former Barcelona midfielder Toure Yaya and Messi’s Argentine compatriot Sergio Aguero urge the Barcelona star to join them at the Etihad stadium.

As per reports in Dailymail, it has led to the speculation that Lionel Messi is unsettled at Barcelona after a publicly hit out at Barcelona vice president Javier Faus. The Argentine superstar claimed that the director ‘knows nothing about football’.

The 4 time Balon D’Or winner’s injury has also worsened the situation of the Argentine superstar. Lionel Messi has not played since early November after being injured with a hamstring injury against Real Betis.

In an recent interview with beIn Sport, Toure Yaya said: ”If Messi can leave Barca? To come to us, yes! I want to say yes! At Barcelona, there is always one star. One. Two is not possible.”

”With the recent injury to Messi and the off-the-field problems that he is having at the moment, and with Neymar gradually getting promoted, it is complicated for him [Messi], for sure.”

Messi’s Argentine compatriot, Sergio Aguero also said:” Yes, he should come to City. Then we’ll definitely play together! City should buy him! ”

Messi’s father, Jorge Messi however denied any transfer speculation about his son. He said: ” Leo has grown up at Barca and he loves this club. There is no problem at all between Leo and the club’s management. Over the last few month, the President Sandro Rosell has offered his full support and we appreciate these kind of gestures from Barcelona.”

”In times like this (his injury), we need them more than ever. This support shows the esteem in which they hold Lionel. Their aims are the same as ours: to win as many titles as possible for the institution that we represent.”

Another Argentine teammate of Lionel Messi, Pablo Zabaleta has also claimed that Messi keeps asking him about life at Manchester City.

Lionel Messi is expected to return to first team action in January. Manchester City also play Barcelona in the Champions League round of 16 which will be in mid-February and March.
