Guardiola in Barcelona as Manchester City edge closer to Messi transfer
PEP Guardiola has been spotted in Barcelona as speculation grows over a move to Manchester City for Lionel Messi.
The wantaway forward is supposedly close to agreeing a £1.4m-a-week deal at the Etihad.
Messi made his intentions clear earlier this week when he sent Catalan chiefs a Burofax signalling his desire to leave.
And a reunion with Guardiola coupled with their financial might makes City favourites for his signature.
Spanish outlet El Chiringuito believe Guardiola could meet Messi for a face-to-face meeting during his time in the city.
The pair have already had discussions on the phone regarding teaming up for a second time.
