Lionel Messi has held private talks with Neymar and wants his former
Barcelona teammate to join him at Manchester City, according to reports
in Brazil.
Nou Camp chiefs are working to convince Messi to stay
at the club following the Argentina superstar's bombshell request to
leave.
The 33-year-old rocked the Catalan giants on Tuesday
night, when it is understood he asked for his contract, which has a year
still to run, to be terminated under an end-of-season release clause.
Messi's
intention to quit the Nou Camp came after Ronald Koeman's appointment
as Quique Setien's successor last week, following a hugely disappointing
season which ended with an 8-2 Champions League quarter-final drubbing
by Bayern Munich.
And according to ESPN Brasil, Messi has his
heart set on a reunion with Pep Guardiola - and even wants Neymar to
join him at the Etihad.
