Manchester City are reportedly looking at signing Lionel Messi, while Barcelona's rebuild does not include Luis Suarez. Messi, 33, has been linked with a move away from the LaLiga giants after a trophy-less 2019-20 season reached its nadir in the 8-2 thrashing by Bayern Munich in the Champions League. 

Barça are preparing for a rebuild and while Messi is part of their plans, Suarez is seemingly not, which in turn could play into the hands of City or Inter Milan. Messi and Suárez are firm friends and any move by the Camp Nou board to jettison the Uruguay forward could be the final straw for Messi, who has been rather vocal about the shortcomings of the board this season. 

Manchester City planning audacious Messi move

The report says the Premier League giants are preparing should Messi become available.

Messi is contracted at Barcelona until 2021, but has been linked with a move.
