Manchester City FC has reportedly made interest in signing Barcelona's number one midfielder, Lionel Messi, to their La Liga squad.

The reports suggest that the Spanish giants have been impressed by Messi's performances at the Camp Nou and believes that he could be a valuable addition to their squad this season.

Barcelona's midfield has struggled to find consistency under Ronald Koeman, who was sacked after just two seasons in charge. However, with Messi joining the club from Paris Saint-Germain, there is a chance that the Frenchman will be able to bring stability to the team and help them win more titles in the future.

In addition to Messi, Manchester City also have interest in signing other key players like Antoine Griezmann, who has already signed for Real Madrid, and Edinson Cavani, who joined from Napoli.

The move to Barcelona would be a significant boost for City, who currently sit in second place in the league table with eight points, but with Messi joining them, they should be able to improve on their current position. The club has already invested heavily in new signings this summer, including the arrival of Kevin De Bruyne from Chelsea and Raheem Sterling from Arsenal.

Overall, it remains to be seen whether Manchester City will be successful in signing Lionel Messi or not. But if they do, they will undoubtedly be a force to be reckoned with in the upcoming season.
