Man City, PSG encouraged as Messi decides it's over at Barcelona

Lionel Messi is prepared to leave Barcelona at the end of this season.

Off contract in June, Cuatro says Messi has now decided this will be his last campaign with Barca - no matter who wins the presidential election in January.

Indeed, it hasn't been ruled out by Messi to commit to a pre-contract with his new club before the season concludes. The Argentine can begin negotiations from January 1.

Manchester City have confirmed their plans to move for Messi, while PSG have entered the frame this week.

Despite the resignation of president Josep Maria Bartomeu and being won over by the work of coach Ronald Koeman, Messi has failed to be convinced about signing a new deal and staying with the Blaugrana.
