Man City can't tempt Messi from Barcelona
Lionel Messi won't consider leaving Barcelona, no matter how much Manchester City are willing to offer.
City's Abu Dhabi owners have Messi high on their shopping list as they plan to 'introduce' themselves to European football by making a play for a major world star - no matter the cost.
However, Sport says the chances of City landing Messi are 'zero'. The Argentina international is settled at the Nou Camp - and more importantly feels he's now Barca's No1 player following the departures of Ronaldinho and Deco in the summer.
Messi is already the club's highest paid player and has made it clear to his advisors he's not interested in leaving.

i`m just sitting here laughing at man city.they think they can do anything,buy anybody they like because they have the money.messi can never leave barca for all the money in the world because he is not an hypocrite.he is a true barca player for life.he is ending his career in barca
lmao! Wow the kid below me has no respect i swear just cuz barca won the champions league 2 years ago doesnt mean shit, i swear u know nothing of soccer and ur nothing more than a messi bandwagoner, bow to ur sense'! Bitch
Messi and Barca will kill Madrid this year, the title will come back to where it belongs, it was only taken away due to weak Barca teams who couldn't win games when it mattered. No longer. Madrid is boring and shyte. Buy, buy, buy, their only solution, regardless of whether the player fits into the system. They don't have the caliber of players of Barca, no creativity, possession, their defence is old and slow. Anyone who mentions Madrid as a powerhouse must take a look at the Champions League, Europes biggest stage, what have they done the past few years, struggle to get out of the group stage, amazing. Barca play the game the right way, possession for days, creativity and courage, willingness to go forward while making few mental mistakes. VISCA BARCA!!
