It just isn't going away this story
Two sides ‘miles’ apart from Nou Camp agreement — leaving door open for Pep Guardiola
MANCHESTER CITY’S hopes of signing Lionel Messi have been boosted by a stalemate in contract talks with Barcelona.
SunSport understands that negotiations to extend the current deal for Messi have stalled.
And according to one source, who is party to the talks, the two sides are “miles” apart from reaching an agreement.
City chiefs are prepared to pay the 28-year-old Argentinian a staggering £800,000 per week and want him to be the fulcrum of new boss Pep Guardiola’s team.
The stand-off at Barcelona centres on Messi’s demand for three more years to be added to his deal, which expires in the summer of 2018.
Club president Josep Bartomeu has warned the player’s father and agent that they cannot afford the terms being asked for.
City have made it clear to Messi’s representatives they will meet his desire for a five-year agreement.

I know, it's totally mental blue, but if City think that it'll be money they can afford, then it's good enough for me.

City want to be global; that's where the money is going forwards. Messi is THE global football superstar.
If we get him, we'll sell enough shirts to pay his wages for starters. The transfer fee, even if it was £200M, is easily affordable with all the money we have flooding in from new tv deals etc. and we can fudge the Etihad sponsorship deal if we fail to get CL next season.
With the players that Pep will get, we will be a galactico team that the Chinese, Arabs, Americans etc. will want to follow. That'll bring in even more money.
Our owners have got their 'investment' right from their perpective.

£800k a week... Who needs to be paid that much? I haven't earned that much in 22 years of full time employment. Makes me wish I'd worked a bit harder in PE!
