Leo Messi's biographer has given his take on the Pep Guardiola to Juventus rumours last wek.

Reports emerged from Italy last week claiming Manchester City boss Guardiola will join Juventus this summer on a four-year deal.

Guillem Balague has put forward a conspiracy theory about the links in his latest YouTube video.

“Honestly, it would be interesting to find out where the stories about Pep going to Juventus come from," the Spanish journalist said.

“That includes the dates; the announcement on June 4, and the presentation on June 14. Even a press agency told the story.

“When all the stories have got so much detail, including a four-year deal, in my eyes it suggests, number one, that the club is behind it.

“For whatever reason. The value of their shares have gone up five per cent - maybe that's the reason."
